With the Assemblies of God now over a century old, this book takes a fresh look at critical issues in the AG's origins. While not a comprehensive retelling, this book is a series of essays that explore different historiographical issues that will clarify or correct historical narratives with new research. Topics include re-examining the early relationship with the Church of God in Christ, assessing the AG's evangelical identity, and attitudes toward theology and education. Some three decades since the last AG history, this volume will shed new light on these important theological and cultural issues to better understand its roots. Perhaps these conversations will help the AG better understand its history as the fellowship approaches the problems it faces today.

Reviews for Aspects of Assemblies of God Origins: Exploring Narratives, Theologies, and Issues from the Early Years

""Daniel Isgrigg's previous work already put him at the forefront of a new generation of Pentecostal historians. His newest book challenges widely shared assumptions in Pentecostal history. I have rarely been this surprised."" --D. Allen Tennison, theological counsel, National Office of the Assemblies of God ""Daniel Isgrigg produces a riveting and timely account of the Assemblies of God. Instead of a decade-to-decade rehearsal of events, he reimagines the Assemblies of God story by peering through critical theological, political, social, and ecumenical windows. Isgrigg argues persuasively that an honest history wrestles continuously with the evolution of theologies, alliances, and worldviews. He is both a sympathetic and dedicated insider, and a constructive critic."" --Martin Mittelstadt, professor of New Testament, Evangel University ""History is, paradoxically, unalterable and in constant need of revision. The past does not change, after all, but we can change our understanding of it based on new facts or better interpretive frameworks. Daniel Isgrigg carefully examines stories (and myths) of Assemblies of God origins in this book, providing the kind of revision Assemblies of God history needs today."" --George P. Wood, executive editor, Assemblies of God Publications
