"In this short introduction, Old Testament scholar Lee Roy Martin offers the first scholarly monograph length study on fasting written by a Pentecostal. By examining every biblical text devoted to fasting this study uncoveres details of the biblical teaching on fasting that have often gone unnoticed. By hearing the testimonies of the Christian tradition, this monograph helps to reveal fasting practices based on traditions that have little to no basis in the biblical text. By excavating early Pentecostal views, Martin demonstrates the significance of fasting for the tradition. In his constructive chapter Martin's scholarly and pastoral skills combine to provide solid practical reflection and guidance for those interested in this often misunderstood practice." -- Back cover
