A Response to New Apostolic Reformation Critics Revised and Expanded
Randy Clark
***This book is copyrighted to Dr. Randy Clark and may not be reproduced in any form.***
This revised and greatly expanded “Response to NAR Critics” provides answers and insight regarding the confusion related to my first submission on this subject to Academia. This confusion arose in large part because my response, which was 303 pages, was not posted in full. Only 80 pages were posted. The complete document that should have been posted contained responses from seven students and one professor from Global Awakening Theological Seminary (GATS). This first truncated submission was met with several critical comments, some of which stemmed from the fact that my full response was not made available, such as the comments that I did not deal fully with the charges made by the critics. To mitigate further confusion as to the full content of this second response, I have now included a table of contents to go with the critical responses from each of the students so one can see which issues raised by Geivett and Pivec are addressed.

Hee Won Choi, "A Study of Granville Oral Roberts’s Whole Person Healing Mission/그랜빌 오랄 로버츠(Granville Oral Roberts)의 전인치유선교 연구," PhD dissertation, Juan International University, (in Korean)
Hee Won Choi
A thesis written in Korean for PhD in Intercultural Studies at Juan International University in South Korea.
English Abstract:
The thesis proposes Whole-Person healing mission as an effective for pastoral ministry and mission to respond to the challenge of the ineffective evangelistic mission as the critical hindrance to Christian ministry and mission. The study argues that the whole-person healing mission and evangelization of Granville Oral Roberts(1918-2009) through revival meetings, broadcasting, education, and medical service in the twentieth century would serve as a new theological breakthrough. His whole-person healing mission became a significant ideological foundation of holistic mission, faith mission, mission corporation through racial harmony for pastoral ministry and mission. In the twenty-first century, the church, called to gain society's confidence and respond to human needs, has suffered a low approval rate from society. Consequently, most local congregations have experienced a decline in membership. In the face of the close correlation between the church's crisis and the challenges in the ministry frontline, the researcher draws her attention to the early church's foundational message, particularly the power of healing and restoration. For this reason, the historical study of the whole-person healing mission of Granville Oral Roberts, as the recognized revivalist and authoritative healing minister in the twentieth century, would serve as a critical model for contemporary and future ministry and mission. The history reveals that God's whole-person healing has continued. Based on this assumption, the researcher undertakes a historical investigation of the various approaches of Oral Roberts' whole-person healing mission. Within the broader context of God's history of salvation of humanity and society, the study focuses on the whole-person healing of Oral Roberts' vast ministries.

Midway Tabernacle and the Apostolic Bible Church
Beverly Newstrand Hicks
Beverly Hicks has written a "love letter" to her childhood heritage and lifelong affection for the Midway Tabernacle/Apostolic Bible Church community.
Her story focuses on the arrival of Pentecostalism in St. Paul and Minneapolis, the early years of struggle and internal strife that plagued the fledgling community, the "long parade" of ministers occupying the congregation's pulpit, and the final triumph of stability, growth, and expansion of the congregation under the leadership of S. G. and Jessie Norris.
Midway Tabernacle/Apostolic Bible Church – beyond its enduring ministry in St. Paul and Minneapolis – has always been a ʺhaven of orthodoxyʺ for the Oneness Pentecostal movement and one of the greatest proponents of the ʺG. T. Haywood‐W.T. Witherspoon‐S. G. Norrisʺ school of Oneness doctrine. Through its associated Bible college, the Apostolic Bible Institute, this congregation led the way for ministerial training in Oneness organizations. ABI students have literally taken the Oneness Pentecostal message around the world and many of its graduates have served as high‐ranking officials in various Oneness organizations.
