Charismatic Christianity, with Helen Collins

Sam Fornecker chats with theologian Helen Collins about her recent book, Charismatic Christianity: Introducing Its Theology through the Gifts of the Spirit (Baker Academic, 2023).

What is "charismatic Christianity"? What are its signal emphases, its prevailing values, its cardinal foci? How is it to be understood in relation to Pentecostalism, on the one hand, and the wide world of evangelicalism, on the other? What deficits of the wider Christian family does it seek to redress?

In this conversation, Sam Fornecker speaks with Helen Collins (Vice Principal, Trinity College Bristol) about what charismatic Christianity is, how we understand it biblically and theologically, and what it offers the church today.

For more on this week's conversation, and to consider the connections between charismatic practice and biblical-historic Christian faith, see Helen's Charismatic Christianity.
