Ultimately, I think the evidence Dunn brings forward and his analysis does not necessarily lead to a qualified ‘no’ (they did not worship Jesus), but a qualified ‘yes’. Even Pliny, as Dunn notes, seems to have confusion on this: they seem to worship Jesus as if he were a god. Again, there is enough evidence in the NT that they thought of Jesus god-like enough and their forms of worship were clear enough that ‘yes’ seems closer than ‘no’. I think the real value of Dunn’s work is to challenge the idea that Jesus is included in the divine identity (as argued by Bauck- ham). Dunn has made a strong case that this ‘identity’ language is too unclear and focuses more on the person of Jesus (as one who is god- like) rather than his agency and ‘iconic’ role. Nijay K.

Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2009 (ISBN 978-0-8028-6281-5), xxiv + 248 pp., pb $15.00 This book is a collection of articles that have been put together to reflect developing Pentecostal theologies, not least from the Two-Thirds World, and its express purpose is to be constructive rather than merely descriptive. It is divided into three parts: the first part deals with ‘spiri- tual empowerment’, the second with ‘cultural diversity’, and the third with ‘religious plurality’. There is also a preface by Jürgen Moltmann and an introduction by Kärkkäinen, where he tries to situate the hard-to-capture Pentecostal identity. Among the twelve articles in this volume, let me present and briefly discuss the ones I found most interesting, before offering an appraisal of the book as a whole. In the first section, on empowerment, I should like to mention two excellent treatments of traditionally central Pentecostal themes: Spirit baptism and healing. Frank Macchia, a veteran of constructive Pente- costal theology, writes about the first theme and argues that Spirit baptism is still the defining feature of Pentecostalism, despite other more recent proposals. He discusses the many different understand- ings of Spirit baptism in Pentecostal history and the general tendency of recent Pentecostal theology to downplay its importance. Macchia himself, however, would rather see a renewed theological engagement with the doctrine that would liberate it from the too narrow traditional confines. Citing several emerging Pentecostal theologies that take a more holistic approach to Spirit baptism, he ends the article by adding History and Sociology of Religion 545 © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
