Winner of the Award of Excellence of the Foundation for Pentecostal scholarship 2010.
"Atkinson has advanced the discussion to a wholly new level. This work - the first book-length academic study of JDS - draws on an extensive popular literature, articles at websites, and transcriptions of sermons, applying a keen theological intelligence to this heterogeneous material. This book is a stunning achievement - one of the weightiest works yet written on any aspect of the Word-Faith movement. Atkinson's argumentation is exceptioanlly clear, cogent, and charitable. He pays Word-Faith teachers the ultimate compliment of evaluating their ideas with painstaking care and a determined effort to eschew premature judgments." - Michael McClymond, Associate Professor of Historical Theology at St Louis University in: Pneuma Vol 32 (2010), iss. 1.
"In this research Atkinson provides us with a thorough analysis of the JDS doctrine as
espoused by the Word-faith movement. The text is well structured and discusses the relevant
biblical texts and the place JDS has in Christian theology. It contributes to the scholarly
debate about the inherent doctrinal dangers in the Word-faith movement. As Atkinson
rightfully observes, JDS teaching creates many difficulties and questions. It undermines the
traditional understanding of the Trinity, incarnation and atonement."
