FIRESTORM OF THE LORD
By Stuart Piggin
Paternoster. 251pages inc. indexes
£14.99. ISBN 1 84227 031 1

If you buy this book to read a careful biblical theology of revival, you will waste your money. But if you buy this book you will certainly not waste your money.

The author admits that 'the serious study of the theology of revival has scarcely begun', and the little he adds to that debate leaves a lot of unpacking to do; for example, in the Old Testament, 'The whole community was awakened, not through the Holy Spirit in the soul of every member of the community, but through the Holy Spirit in the leader through whom the community was awakened'.
