Course Description:
"From the beginning of the modern Pentecostal movement, the Book of Acts has played an outsized role. It was to Acts the pioneers turned when they were keen to find out what the earliest Christians believed and how they lived out their faith. Originally known as the Apostolic Faith movement, the movement’s first leaders were intent on restoring the church to its original roots. Convinced that Christianity had lost its way, they looked to the Book of Acts for the original pattern for the church and were determined to follow its path. Today’s Oneness Pentecostals (or as they are often known—Apostolics) continue on this same path.

A synergistic relationship grew between the earliest Pentecostals’ reading of Acts and their spiritual experiences. Each built on the other. They began by reading Acts and soon discovered key elements of the first church were missing from the contemporary church. They then sought the missing experience, which in turn opened them up to a better understanding of Acts." (from the Author's Preface for The Handbook on the Book of Acts).

Text Book Description: Handbook on the Book of Acts by Robin Johnston
In this handbook, the author “thoroughly examines how we should read and study Acts so as to comprehend and fulfill the purposes for which God has given it to the church. Employing concepts in contemporary scholarship, the author has written in a way that is understandable to all students of the Bible. This handbook is an excellent introduction to the significance, meaning, and content of an important portion of the Word of God.” (from the foreword by David K. Bernard).

Along the way we will meet many odd characters, discover exotic places, taste strange cuisine. Our journey along the dusty roads of first-century Palestine will require a lively imagination and the full engagement of our senses. (from the Author's preface of Handbook on the Gospels).

There is a genuine need for thorough, comprehensive study and explanation of the fundamental Bible truths we hold dear, and this series is designed to help meet that need.

Chris Paris uses his expertise in biblical Hebrew to expand our understanding of various Hebrew words. In addition, he exegetes key passages of the text and provides fresh ideas on how to preach selected passages of Scripture from the Historical Books.  

Text Book Description:  Handbook of Historical Books  by Chris Paris
Chris Paris examines the twelve books we often group together as the Historical Books.  This section of the Bible contains many of the iconic stories we learned as children, therefore, it is easy for us to see these books as an anthology of our favorite Bible stories. And in doing so we miss the broader truths these books reveal to us. Instead, the author’s general approach is to stand back from the text so he can look at the overarching themes that run through these books. From this viewpoint, the key movements in the ongoing salvation-history of God’s covenant people become more obvious.  (From the Editor's Preface)

In this course, Eugene Wilson teaches with passion for the subject of Leadership and provides valuable instruction for church leaders.  The answer is a realignment of the leader in how he views his own success, how he goes about empowering others, and how he postures the church for change and involvement. Wilson has extensively surveyed the wide scope of leadership philosophies and literature from the religious and secular fields, and woven them seamlessly with scriptural principles so we can be the beneficiaries of his convicting insights. I recommend Realign to leaders everywhere.  — Raymond Woodward (from the Forward of Realign

Text Book Description: Realign by Dr. Eugene T, Wilson
Realign redefines success of church leaders as the degree to which we help others become what God wants them to be rather than by the size of the crowd. It calls church leaders to realign with purpose, namely, equipping others for their work of ministry. It is not about a model as much as it is about principles—principles that are both timeless and universal. It deals with the following concepts:

• Traits of an equipping leader  • The stages of life cycle of a church • How people change and what you can do to help them keep it  • Your expectations for followers • How church structures enhance or inhibit growth • How maintaining a safe place increases involvement

Course Description:
David K. Bernard presents a ministerial training foundation for ministers of all ages.  Many ministering servants of the Lord have had to learn by the hard road of experience, and in some instances the learning process is very severe.  This course will help many avoid some of the struggles others have already faced.  

 I Corinthians 3:9-11 says, “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” This is a valuable scriptural admonition that fits the ministry precisely. We are taught in this instance that we labor together with our Lord and that any work of the ministry that will exist and continue in its eternal substance must be done upon the right foundation. 

Text Book Description:The Pentecostal Minister edited by David K. Bernard and J. L. Hall

Course Description:
In a polite society, for two people to get to know each other in a meaningful way, names must be exchanged. These same two people then intuitively associate particular qualities of the other individual with the name of that person. In human/divine relationship, it is not enough for God to know our names; we must know God’s name.   David Norris presents a historic, scriptural and scholarly understanding of Oneness movement and the revelation of the fullness of the Godhead in Jesus Christ.

Text Book Description:  I AM: A Oneness Pentecostal Theology by David S. Norris 
The author engages hundreds of academic works to construct a particular kind of argument. Rejecting a triumphalistic reading of church history, he argues that the first century church had a very specific christological confession, one very different from what the church later came to believe. Combining theological, biblical, and historical method, Norris works to demonstrate that this christological understanding is biblical, historical, and logical.

Course Description:
Eugene Wilson’s addresses one of the divine mandates for the fivefold ministry. While there would appear to be a resistance to any type of apostolic authority in our independent Western culture, we tend to be aware that God has chosen to lead the church through the fivefold ministry (Ephesians 4:11). Tragically, we often ignore one of the primary purposes of this fivefold ministry, “. . . the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. . . .” (Ephesians 4:12).

Wilson demonstrates how great leaders such as Moses and Jesus recognized that the success of a God-ordained vision hinged on the development of a team, rather than embodying the Lone Ranger mindset that has plagued many leaders. The doctrine of the church being the body of Christ implores contemporary leaders to mobilize His hands and feet in our local congregations in order to realize a God-sized vision. Everyone needs a team.  --  Brent Coltharp,  Lead Pastor of First Apostolic Church in  Aurora, Illinois (from the Endorsements page of Seventy).

Text Book Description:Seventy by Dr. Eugene T. Wilson
Many leaders like the concept of having a team. Unfortunately, some church leaders function more as an owner rather than team member. Seventy helps church leaders fulfill their role in building, developing, and working with teams. It offers insights into the challenges of doing ministry as a team and practically addresses how to overcome these challenges. If you care about the church, believe in apostolic ministry—following the apostles’ example—and want to experience the Book of Acts in the twenty-first century, this book is for you. Everyone needs a team.

Descripción del curso:
Desarrollar una relación con Dios es de suma importancia. Dios nos habla a través de Su Palabra, y nosotros le hablamos cuando oramos. Una relación no es probable que se desarrolle sin comunicación. Disciplinarnos para adorar a Dios durante los tiempos difíciles demuestra que confiamos en Él y tenemos fe en Él para resolver las situaciones. También se cubre en el curso la disciplina del perdón. Las personas que han sido profundamente heridas pueden sentir que nunca podrán perdonar a sus ofensores. El perdón es necesario por varias razones. La falta de perdón puede convertirse en amargura, lo que perjudica a la persona que fue perjudicada, no al perpetrador. Puede causar problemas físicos. Puede hacer que una persona se sienta como un prisionero obligado por la ofensa.

Aunque lleva tiempo y esfuerzo seguir estas disciplinas espirituales, aquellos que lo hagan crecerán en gracia.

Descripción del libro de texto: Disciplinas Espirituales:  
El crecimiento espiritual es un proceso normal para cada creyente cristiano espiritualmente sano. Este proceso de crecimiento espiritual gradualmente lleva a un creyente a la plena madurez espiritual en Cristo. Aunque es la obra de Dios que nos redime, debemos esforzarnos para honrar Su obra redentora en nuestras vidas. La disciplina espiritual implica más que la oración, el ayuno y la lectura de la Biblia. El esfuerzo enfocado en áreas como el perdón, la generosidad y el contentamiento es igualmente importante. Aunque requiere tiempo y esfuerzo seguir las disciplinas espirituales descritas en este libro, aquellos que lo hagan crecerán en gracia. 

Descripción del curso:  
Existe una necesidad genuina de un estudio y explicación exhaustivos y exhaustivos de las verdades bíblicas fundamentales que apreciamos, y esta serie está diseñada para ayudar a satisfacer esa necesidad. Este curso trata de reunir una discusión completa de la Deidad. Afirma la unidad de Dios y la deidad absoluta de Jesucristo.

Muchas referencias de las Escrituras se dan en el libro para ayudar al lector en su búsqueda de la verdad bíblica.

Descripción del libro de texto: La Unicidad De Dios por David K. Bernard.  
La revelación bíblica del único Dios verdadero, incluida la identidad de Jesucristo como Dios manifestado en la carne, es el fundamento de la fe cristiana. La Unidad de Dios es una exposición minuciosa y bíblica de la unidad de Dios y la deidad de Jesucristo, con respuestas a las objeciones y explicaciones de pasajes difíciles de las Escrituras. El tratamiento del autor de la unidad de Dios es simple, pero las verdades son profundas, académicas y no tienen precio.

Descripción del libro de texto: Nosotros Predicamos por Jerry Jones
Este libro propone contestar algunas preguntas fundamentales respeto a la predicación apostólica: ¿Qué es la predicación? ¿Por qué predicamos? ¿Es nuestra predicación bíblica? ¿Aún es relevante hoy en día? Jerry Jones sienta las bases teológicas para la predicación, presenta los argumentos a favor de la prioridad de la predicación, y demuestra la necesidad fundamental para la predicación en la iglesia. Basándose en la amplia experiencia de toda una vida de predicar el evangelio, el autor condensa los elementos principales de la predicación en un libro que los predicadores jóvenes y mayores tendrán dificultades para dejar a lado. 

Descripción del curso:
Este curso analiza la historia de la doctrina cristiana desde aproximadamente el 100 dC hasta el siglo XX. Generalmente sigue un orden cronológico e identifica los eventos más significativos en la historia de la iglesia, pero el énfasis está en rastrear los desarrollos doctrinales.

Este curso proporcionará varias perspectivas sobre temas bíblicos y ayudará en el diálogo con personas de diferentes orígenes. El estudiante verá cuándo, cómo y por qué se abandonaron ciertas doctrinas bíblicas y se abrazaron ciertas doctrinas no bíblicas, y verá cómo Dios ha trabajado para restaurar y revivir verdades fundamentales que en gran parte fueron olvidadas.

Es importante recordar que solo la Biblia es nuestra autoridad para la doctrina. No podemos establecer la verdad espiritual por historia, tradición, opinión mayoritaria, grandes líderes o experiencias personales, sino solo por la Palabra de Dios.

Descripción del libro de texto: Una Historia de Doctrina Cristiana por David K. Bernard
Manual de los Libros Históricos En alguna parte entre un comentario versículo por versículo y la Biblia de Estudio Apostólico, la Serie de Manuales Apostólicos da vida a un texto antiguo lo cual tiene entre dos a cuatro mil años de edad con una aplicación fresca para nuestras vidas y para la iglesia de hoy.  Encontrará perspicacia de la cultura, el idioma, y la historia de Israel, el evangelio de Jesucristo, y la iglesia del primer siglo, todo completamente basado por escritores apostólicos.    

En este tomo, Chris Paris examina los doce libros que a menudo clasificamos como los Libros Históricos.  De manera concisa trata con temas globales en estos libros, incluyendo la conquista de la tierra, la restauración del clamor en Israel, y la construcción, destrucción, y reconstrucción del Templo.  A demás, usa su conocimiento del hebreo bíblico para expandir nuestro entendimiento de varias palabras hebreas.  Y provee nuevas ideas para enseñar y predicar de pasajes seleccionados de las Escrituras de estos libros. 

Descripción del libro de texto: YO SOY: Una Teología Pentecostal por David S. Norris
El autor realiza cientos de trabajos académicos para construir un tipo particular de argumento. Rechazando una lectura triunfalista de la historia de la iglesia, argumenta que la iglesia del primer siglo tuvo una confesión cristológica muy específica, muy diferente de lo que la iglesia llegó a creer más tarde. Combinando métodos teológicos, bíblicos e históricos, Norris trabaja para demostrar que esta comprensión cristológica es bíblica, histórica y lógica.

Descripción del curso:
David K. Bernard presenta el crecimiento de la iglesia desde una perspectiva apostólica unitaria. Casi todo el material sobre este tema refleja la perspectiva trinitaria de sus autores, pero el fundamento de las enseñanzas de David Bernard es la unidad de Dios. Su conocimiento y dedicación a esta verdad le permite a los lectores compartir su conocimiento especial de la Palabra y sentir la unción del Espíritu Santo al aplicar los principios de la Palabra al crecimiento de la iglesia.

Descripción del curso:  
Hace algunos años, en un simposio sobre Pentecostalismo Unitario celebrado en la Universidad de Harvard, un erudito ortodoxo oriental declaró que la Iglesia Pentecostal Unida había hecho un trabajo encomiable de preservar su historia. Afirmó que era inusual que una organización tan joven hubiera documentado tan bien su historia y sus creencias. En respuesta a los críticos del movimiento, instó a los Pentecostales de la Unidad a no traicionar su identidad al conformarse con otros grupos religiosos, sino a continuar proclamando su mensaje único.. 

Descripción del libro de texto: Su historia: Pentecostales del siglo XX  
Después de haber leído ese libro, sentirá como que ha estado pisando sobre tierra santa – tierra santificada por la fidelidad de hombres de Dios, los Pioneros de Pentecostés, quienes por medio de su visión, carga, lágrimas, y su amor consumidor por las verdades Apostólicas originales, han estado dispuestos a tolerar y soportar ser ridiculizados, perseguidos y mal entendidos para lograr hacer de esta gran Iglesia Apostólica lo que es hasta el día de hoy. 

El orden y el plan de alcanze que este libre cubre lo hace estar completo en sí mismo y al mismo tiempo la presentación tan sencilla y directa de estas verdades y los hechos que han sido instrumentales en traer estas verdades a la luz son dignos de nuestra sincera apreciación. 

Este libro va mas allá de lo ordinario, ya que es un libro de la historia de nuestra Iglesia, es también un libro de referencia y ciertamente un libro que nos reta a ser Pentecostales cueste lo que cueste.

Originally known as the Apostolic Faith movement, the movement’s first leaders were intent on restoring the church to its original roots. Convinced that Christianity had lost its way, they looked to the Book of Acts for the original pattern for the church and were determined to follow its path. Today’s Oneness Pentecostals (or as they are often known—Apostolics) continue on this same path.

A synergistic relationship grew between the earliest Pentecostals’ reading of Acts and their spiritual experiences. Each built on the other.

Course Description:
Jerry Jones, the author and instructor of this course, wrote in the Foreword of We Preach,  " I learned to preach by preaching... I did not always understand the whys for things that I just knew to be so. Rhythm, cadence, and gauging the emotional impact of sermon points in order to find the most effective way of presenting them, along with a hundred other important things, were all more intuition than training. It was the theory I was lacking.

Then I began to be asked to teach sessions on preaching to aspiring preachers. For five years I taught a semester-long class on preaching at Gateway College of Evangelism. I discovered that people weren’t really content to know that something is true just because I said it was. While they respected my experience, they wanted to know why it was so. I began to think about the mechanics of preaching. I wanted to discover why some things work and some don’t. I also began researching what other preachers had to say about this calling and craft."

Text Book Description:  We Preach by Jerry Jones
This book sets out to answer some fundamental questions regarding Apostolic preaching: What is preaching? Why do we preach? Is our preaching biblical? Is it still relevant today? Jerry Jones lays the theological groundwork for the basis of preaching, presents the case for the priority of preaching, and demonstrates the fundamental necessity of preaching in the church. Drawing from the extensive experience of a lifetime of preaching the gospel, the author distills the key elements of preaching into a book that preachers young and old will have a hard time putting down.

In human/divine relationship, it is not enough for God to know our names; we must know God’s name.   David Norris presents a historic, scriptural and scholarly understanding of Oneness movement and the revelation of the fullness of the Godhead in Jesus Christ.

Text Book Description:  I AM: A Oneness Pentecostal Theology by David S. Norris 
The author engages hundreds of academic works to construct a particular kind of argument. Rejecting a triumphalistic reading of church history, he argues that the first century church had a very specific christological confession, one very different from what the church later came to believe. Combining theological, biblical, and historical method, Norris works to demonstrate that this christological understanding is biblical, historical, and logical.
