Tarif Khalidi, a contemporary Muslim scholar, has observed that the identity of the Muslim Jesus (Isa) has been changing since the canonical writings of the Qur'an and Hadith. He has moved from the ascetic saint of classical Islam to lord of nature, miracle worker, healer, and social and ethical model of modern Islam. He says that Isa has become much more than an argument for the truth of Islam; "he is a living and vital moral voice, demanding to be heard." This short book examines Khalidi's claim by analysing the understandings of Muslims who have written on the person of Isa in the past ten years. This book clearly demonstrates that Isa is evolving and is the prophet of hope for Islam today!

A Gem in the Water explores the Pentecostal doctrine of Baptism of the Holy Spirit (the Gem) and its effects and ripples on the water of Chilean society. The revival that broke out in 1909 has been described as 'the first autochthonous Pentecostal church revival anywhere in the developing world' (Dr Luis Orellana). Previous to 1909, Chile experienced Methodist Radical Holiness visitations, but Valparaiso, where the revival broke out under Pastor Willis Hoover and his wife Mary Anne (both originating from Chicago) initiated a renewed, world-wide Pentecostal Triangle together with Mukti, India and Azusa Street. The book draws up Hoover's previously unwritten Methodist Pentecostal Theology and proposes a theological theory of Pneuma-plasticity, overcoming the unnecessary problem of 'sub-sequentialism' that arises with the Pentecostal doctrine of Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It proposes that the Pentecostal blessing as portrayed in Acts of the Apostles is available and accessible to all churches today.
