Professor Koo D. Yun has given us a rich exposure to the various viewpoints offered on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit across confessional and denominational lines. Those who are tired of well-worn arguments and counterarguments on the nature of Spiritbaptism will find Yun's book a breath of fresh air. He challenges Pentecostal and Non-Pentecostal theologians alike to think ecumenically about Spirit baptism as a complex work of the Spirit. I highly recommend it.
