Strange Lyre: The Pentecostalization of Evangelical Worship

It’s hardly disputable that global Christianity has been overwhelmed and colonized by the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. But perhaps far more insidious has been the quiet takeover of Christian worship by Pentecostalism, even in those churches that reject the theology of continuationism. Worship forms are far more portable than doctrinal statements, and they tend to insinuate themselves gradually and quietly. In this book, David de Bruyn demonstrates that Pentecostal worship has a matrix of distinctives that is a clear break from historic, Protestant worship, or even the worship that preceded it, and that these distinctives have infiltrated much of evangelical worship today.

David de Bruyn was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he now pastors New Covenant Baptist Church and resides with his wife and three children. He is a graduate of Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Minnesota and the University of South Africa (D.Th.). David hosts a weekly radio program that is heard throughout much of central South Africa, serves as a frequent conference speaker, and is a lecturer at Shepherds Seminary Africa.
