The church has been called to participate in God's mission in the world. But without a robust, biblical sense of the Spirit's action, how can we be sure we're fulfilling that call? In this innovative work of missional pneumatology, Gary Tyra synthesizes charismatic and evangelical perspectives to flesh out the nature and purpose of the church's preaching, proclamation and service.

The church has been called to participate in God's mission in the world. But without a robust, biblical sense of the Spirit's action, how can we be sure we're fulfilling that call?
Gary Tyra employs a biblical theology of the Holy Spirit to deepen and inform our understanding of life as the church, the people of God. Since the church's mission to and into the world is both evangelistic and prophetic, the task calls for the working of the Spirit in our preaching, proclamation and service. Tyra brings together both charismatic and evangelical emphases resulting in a theological and practical synthesis that is richer than when either is taken separately.

Gary Tyra (D.Min., Fuller Theological Seminary) is associate professor of biblical and practical theology at Vanguard University of Southern California. He has over twenty-five years of pastoral experience, including his last position as senior pastor at Yorba Linda Community Church in Yorba Linda, California. He is the author of Christ's Empowering Presence, Beyond the Bliss and Defeating Pharisaism.
