Amos Yong may be the most influential Pentecostal theologian alive today. If he’s not foremost, he’s at least one of the top five.

Part of the reason Yong has been so influential is that he has been so prolific.

Although only a middle-aged man (50?), he has published more than 20 books, many of them monographs.

He’s written more than 100 articles and essays, publishing them in a wide array of journals.

Yong is also influential because he’s interested in so many subjects. He explores and publishes on science, biblical interpretation, ecumenical and interreligious dialogues (especially Buddhism), disability, systematic theology, love, philosophy, missiology, Evangelicalism, and, of course, pneumatology.

In his work on these subjects and many more, Yong expands understanding of what it means to do a theology of the spirit.
