Long Awaited and Finally Here...Sort Of


David Reed's definitive work on the origins of Oneness Pentecostalism, "In Jesus' Name: The History and Beliefs of Oneness Pentecostals, has finally been published. Some were fortunate enough to be able to purchase one of the first copies available anywhere (for $20!!) at the SPS meeting at Duke. Some didn't make it to the Deo table on time...probably because we got lost. It had sold out by Thursday afternoon!

At any rate, it is available....well, almost. I haven't found a source in the US as of yet but it can be purchased on the following UK sites:
Deo Publishing

Premier Shop Online

SCM Press

If you find it on a US site (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc), please post a comment and let us know!

Thanks, David, for this extremely helpful work!

I'm Sure We'll Have A Lot To Talk About


I'm setting up this blog as a kind of meeting place for the History Interest Group, in between annual SPS meetings. I envision it as a place where I can notify you of publications (by SPS members and otherwise), dissertations, articles, etc. which are of interest as well as info about the upcoming (or past) meetings.

As you know, I'm updating an email list which will be circulated to each of you in the Group.

I'm also putting various links of interest on here. Let me know of any others which you know about.

You can contact me or the group either via email or by way of this blog. Simply click on the "comment" link following each post. An email will be sent to me which includes your comment so that you have my immediate attention. It can also be a way for you to talk with each other in a very public forum! [I recently had a very lively discussion on a non-Pentecostal blog from Australia about the nature of Pentecostal worship and preaching.]

If you want to post something for discussion, you can send it to me via email and I will post it.

We'll see how it works out and just think, we can prepare our own lunches to eat while meeting with each other. They will be less expensive, more satisfying and maybe less fattening!
