Summary: The ABC's
Review: Arrington does a really good job at presenting the ABC's of Christian doctrine from a Pentecostal (Church of God- Clevland, TN) persepctive. These books (all 3 volumes) are non-technical, and would be perfect for a sunday-school type setting.The only major draw backs of this book is that Arrington does not clearly describe "the second work of grace" (sanctification). I had hoped this book would better acquaint me with this doctrine that is held by the Church of God, but, I only can end up scratching my head at the end. He seems either confused as to if he should clearly spell out this doctrine, or takes it for granted that he did. My main point of contention with Arrington would be his stance on the pre-tribulation rapture (I am "post-trib.") He doesn't even try to put up a strong argument for it, and pretty much just declares that it is true. But, Arrington spends so little time on doctrines regarding the end-times (and rightfully-so), that this point of contention overall is minor considering the rest of the 3 volumes. I would highly recommend any Christian own this series, and think it could be well used in any Sunday school type environment.

Summary: Great book for the Pentecostal Doctrine
Review: Vol. 3 of the Christian Doctrine: A Pentecostal Perspective, is a very thorough book. It also contains a well extensive chapter on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with tons of scripture references.
