Spheres of Authority: Apostles in Today's Church by C. Peter Wagner

Publisher: Wagner Publications (June 2002)   ISBN-10: 1585020257    ISBN-13: 978-1585020256

God is pouring the new wine of revelation, power, and authority into the 21st century church; and with it He has given the church a new wineskin prepared especially for such a time as this. This wineskin, known as the New Apostolic Reformation, is the most radical change in the way of doing church since the Protestant Reformation five centuries ago. The central focus of this Reformation is the resurgence of apostles in the church. In this book, C. Peter Wagner, a widely recognized authority on church leadership and himself an apostle, takes a revealing look at the subject of apostles that is sure to satisfy many questions of both layperson and scholar alike including:

· What is the definition of an "apostle"?
· What are the characteristics of a real apostle?
· Isn’t it prideful to call oneself an apostle?
· What does an apostle do?
· What is appropriate apostolic authority?
· What are the different spheres of authority an apostle may have?
· What role do apostles have in transforming cities and territories?

Using biblically sound theology, historical anecdotes, and personal experience, Wagner brings a new level of clarity to a subject that is easily misunderstood. This book is an important tool in both understanding and entering into the new wineskin God has given the church.
