Overwhelming evidence reveals contemporary Christianity roots in Pentecost
The world is taking notice and realizing that the fastest-growing segment in Christianity has an undeniable history with a pattern and a rich, deep foundation dating back to the New Testament. Explore overwhelming evidence that reveals how the gifts of the Holy Spirit not only have existed in the centuries since the early apostles, but have also survived the Middle Ages, the politicized church of Europe, and have experienced a spectacular revival this century. Learn invaluable lessons from the experiences of courageous men and women who sought God and saw His power in their generation. The reader of this volume will gain a greater appreciation for the work of the Holy Spirit in history and will experience a sharpened sense to discern what God is doing in the church today.
2000 Years of Charismatic Christianity offers convincing evidence that the modern Pentecostal and Charismatic movements are rooted in the two-thousand-year history of the church. Those who identify with these movements will be affirmed in the experience of the Holy Spirit and will gain a new respect and appreciation for the movement of which they are a part. Those outside the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements will also benefit by reading this volume in that they will gain an understanding of this movement that Harvard professor Dr. Harvey Cox says is "reshaping religion in the 21st century."

Dr. Hyatt will take you on a fast and exciting ride through the pages of Charismatic Christianity that will leave you feeling inspired and knowing your roots.
What makes this book special is its intentional focus on Charismatic Christians and ministries. Hyatt takes us step by step, beginning right after our Lord ascends, continuing right down to the present age.
You'll find out: God didn't sleep for hundreds of years, only coming out occasionally. He's always been doing something, for He is passionate about loving people.
This is not an exhaustive study, however, as Dr. Hyatt also says. Yet it's a great launching pad in becoming acquainted with the Holy Spirit's movements down through the ages.

| I have thouroughly enjoyed this book. I wish Dr.Hyatt would have made it more in depth, but other than that it is great. It is a good book for someone who thinks the gifts of the Spirit have stopped and for those that want a survey of church history. I loved reading about our brothers and sisters that preached in centuries past. | | | | 2000 Years of Charismatic Christianity Oct 15, 2004 |
| This book and its writer are first rate in scholarship and substance. The charisms of the Church community are not latter-day afterthoughts but spiritual gifts that have operated from the very beginning. Dr. Hyatt methodically traces the spiritual and historical roots of the baptism into the Holy Spirit and the associated manifestations, its excesses and abuses. Thought-provoking and well-written. | | |  | Much too brief Mar 1, 2004 |
| This is no more than a text that tries to prove that there has been charismatic phenomena all through history and that it didn't cease after the apostles died (which Warfield has claimed). The author does that by quoting people and texts step by step through history. As such, it is valuable in pointing one towards where to look for further study. However, that is all it does. What I miss is two things. First, he does not argue very well. Just by quoting one does not prove much. I get the feeling he puts more that due into some quotes, especielly when he does not give the context. He does not manifest the critical attitude that should accompany all historical research. Second, I would have wanted much more reflection over WHY the phenomena became so scarce, why it re-appeared in some contexts yet not in others. Also, he finds the phenomena a lot in movements that have been considered heretical by the Church. But he declares them all more or less Not Guilty. But is it not probable that demonic instances of charismatic phenomena would have appeared in these sectarian minds? Hyatt interprets everything to his own benefit. I am myself a charismatic, yet I believe in doing history with true honesty. Finally, this is not a Church History. It is only interested in the charismatic issues through out 2000 years. | | | | Must Reading! Feb 29, 2004 |
| I always wondered how the various denominations came about, and their relationship to one another. This book explains all of that and more. It fully refutes the idea that the gifts of the Holy Spirit were for the first centruy Church only. It also shows the pitfalls of human organization replacing the Holy Spirit in the Church. It details the rise of "professional" clergy, as opposed to those led and guided by the Spirit. I so thoroughly am enjoying this book that I intend to buy additonal copies for some of my friends. While reading this book, I am also reading "The Purpose Driven Life". The combination is very convicting and enlightening. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am. May God richly bless you. | | | Write your own review about 2000 Years Of Charismatic Christianity
