Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies
The Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies is an English-language peer-reviewed academic journal sponsored by the Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS). First published in 1998, it is one of the longest running journals of its kind in the Majority World. In order to make this material more easily accessible, I am pleased to announce that I have been granted permission by the Editor to host, not just the table of contents, but pdfs of the journal articles themselves. You can access the table of contents by clicking on the link below:
