"Is it possible to keep the priority of missions on evangelism and church planting without neglecting the broader horizon of social concern? Ireland answers in the affirmative and persuasively shows that Pentecostalism has historically offered us valuable resources for doing so."
--Frank D. Macchia, author, Jesus the Spirit Baptizer: Christology in Light of Pentecost Argues for a return to the early emphasis in Pentecostal missiology on the need for cross-cultural evangelism, as opposed to the current trend that focuses on a broader, more amorphous understanding of Pentecostal missiology (as "everything that God is doing in the world"). Instead of separating "mission from missions, or the broad sense of mission from the narrow sense," Ireland says that both senses of mission "should be held together in tension and in fact were in early Pentecostalism."
