In a time of seismic spiritual shifts, A New Pentecost for Progressive Christians calls for a resurgence of faith that embraces both contemplation and action.
This book delves into the heart of progressive Christianity, addressing anxieties and uncertainties while envisioning a faith without fences—one that champions love, healing, and justice.
Explore a journey beyond dogma to a spirit-filled movement that honors diversity, science, and the ongoing revelation of God. Discover practical meditations and theological reflections that empower you to ‘practice Pentecost,’ reignite your passion, and become a light in the world.
This compelling work invites you to join a spiritual awakening and reclaim your vocation as a companion in healing our nation and planet, envisioning a future filled with hope and transformative action. Dive into a narrative that inspires us to move from desperation to creative transformation, to explore new possibilities and initiate novel programs and worship experiences.
We can join contemplation and activism, and we can move from meditation to making ‘good trouble,’ as John Lewis asserts. We can change the world, not as a monolithic, coercive institutional faith, but as a loving open-spirited movement committed to healing the soul of our nation and the planet. A faith without fences, open to the world and welcoming humankind in all its diversity.
For just such a time as this we need a New Pentecost for Progressive Christianity. We can be bold in proclaiming the Way of Jesus the Mystic, Prophet, and Healer in a pluralistic and contentious time.

Steven Kindle –
If you are discouraged at the current state of affairs in America and the world in general, and in need of a hopeful word, you will find it here. A New Pentecost for Progressive Christians is a refreshing and inspiring exploration of how the Holy Spirit continues to move within contemporary Christianity. Epperly’s book is a compelling invitation to rediscover the transformative power of Pentecost in the life of the church and the individual Christian. Progressive Christians believe that God is still speaking, and he adds that the Spirit is still moving.
He writes with both theological depth and accessible language, making his arguments approachable for lay readers and thought-provoking for theologians alike. By emphasizing the ongoing work of the Spirit, Epperly challenges the notion that progressive Christianity is devoid of spiritual vibrancy, demonstrating instead its capacity for profound renewal and empowerment. He offers us progressive spiritual practices such as prayer coupled with protest and a mysticism that leads to mission designed to “get us off our couches.”
One of the book’s greatest strengths is Epperly’s skillful weaving of ancient Christian traditions with fresh, progressive perspectives. He roots his reflections firmly in scripture and historical theology, yet he is unafraid to challenge conventional interpretations or to advocate for new expressions of faith. This dynamic approach enables readers to appreciate the richness of Christian heritage while embracing spiritual growth that responds to modern social and ethical concerns.
In summary, Bruce G. Epperly’s book is a valuable addition to the library of any believer who longs for a more spirited and socially engaged Christianity. A New Pentecost for Progressive Christians is thoughtfully written, well-researched, and filled with genuine passion for the church’s future. It is highly recommended for individuals and communities seeking to live out a faith that is open, inclusive, and alive with the Spirit. And for those who feel discouraged and need to be awakened from their malaise.
