Military Chaplains Stage War Service at AGTS

Military chaplaincy candidates staged a mock pre-battle field service Tuesday at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. The chapel platform was transformed into a military camp.

Chaplaincy candidates conducted the service as they would in an actual war situation just before a battle. President Byron Klaus stated that AGTS prepares more chaplains-in-training than any other seminary.

Three Exciting New AGTS Resources

Springfield, Mo.—September 20, 2007—Check out three new resources from the
Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS).

We’ve Come This Far: Reflections on the Pentecostal Tradition and Racial
Reconciliation, edited by AGTS President Byron D. Klaus, is the second in
the Encounter: Pentecostal Ministry Series published by AGTS. It is a
critical reflection on the contributions of Martin Luther King Jr. and
William J. Seymour, the early Pentecostal church leader, to the church and
society. The book seeks to understand the religious and social aspect of the
church’s moral leadership in society through the lens of their lives. (Order

The Essential J. Philip Hogan, edited by AGTS President Byron D. Klaus and
Douglas P. Petersen and published by AGTS, is the first in the J. Philip
Hogan World Missions Series. (Order at www.agts.edu/book_order_form.html or
by calling 417-268-1055.

J. Phillip Hogan was a prolific writer, contributing hundreds of articles to
a variety of publications during his 30-year tenure as executive director of
the Division of Foreign Missions of the Assemblies of God (USA). The
Essential J. Philip Hogan is an introductory collection of Hogan’s writings
for those who wish to explore the legacy of this remarkable pioneer, leader,
theologian and missiologist.

Él Nos Dio Apóstoles, the Spanish version of AGTS’s previously published He
Gave Apostles: Apostolic Ministry in the 21st Century, edited by Edgar R.
Lee, has been published by Vida, the Spanish division of Zondervan (order at
www.zondervan.com). He Gave Apostles discusses the advancement of the
apostolic office within the Pentecostal-Charismatic Movement, which is being
supported by some academic theologians and a growing body of popular-level
writings from leaders who are eager to “jump-start” a lethargic North
American Church. Given the rising debate, AGTS believes that careful
analysis is imperative to protect the unity of the Church and the integrity
of the ministry.
