A Professor with Spirit

E-mail Print PDF

A Professor with SpiritConsidered the first Bible scholar of the modern Pentecostal movement, Gordon Fee has spent the last 40 years proving that the Holy Spirit and biblical scholarship can peacefully coexist

 

Gordon Fee knows how it feels to be a lone ranger. Regarded as the first Bible scholar of the modern Pentecostal movement, Fee is a maverick. For 40 years he has fought an uphill battle in Pentecostal circles, within a movement that has been traditionally wary of theological endeavors and has placed far stronger emphasis on spiritual experience. 

When dealing with such quarrelsome topics as the role of women in the church, speaking in tongues and prosperity theology, the sparks inevitably fly. “I’ve put up with a lot of balderdash,” he says.

School of LifeHow a generation bent on making a difference is changing Christian higher education

 

What did you used to dream of doing when you grew up? Jen Cook wants to change nations. Hers is an outsized ambition, but Cook is infused with the youthful exuberance of one who believes she can make it happen. 

Cook is a 21-year-old marketing senior at Oral Roberts University (ORU), where this fall she will be president of her university’s chapter of Students in Free Enterprise, an international organization helping students apply business concepts to projects for the needy.

Oh, how times have changed. 

Move over notebooks, binders, pens and pads, and make way for laptops, smartpens, dot paper and iPads. As demand for the newest high-tech gadgets increases daily, companies are working around-the-clock to meet our cultural cravings. Gone are the days when students dozed off during filmstrips about the life span of butterflies and anatomy of a flower. Technology is giving new meaning to interactive, hands-on learning

Man (and 2.5 million Youth) With a MissionLoren Cunningham and YWAM celebrate 50 years of reaching the world with the gospel

 

Loren Cunningham has always been a dreamer. As a young ministry student, he had a vision of waves crashing over the earth—waves that turned into thousands of young people taking the gospel to every nation. Fifty years later, that dream is one of the most influential missions movements in history.

At the age of 25, joined by a small band of “Jesus freaks” who shared his vision that Spirit-filled young people could be world changers, Cunningham founded Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Amid the hippie counterculture of the 1960s, at a time when short-term missions was virtually unheard of, YWAM ignited a missions revolution that sent waves of teenagers and college students proclaiming Jesus across oceans and continents.
