"Tapper’s volume collects of an incredible amount of data, analyzes and compiles it, and comes complete with helpful and colourful charts, diagrams, and extensive appendices. (...) Overall Tapper’s is an excellent and crucial study which I would highly recommend to all students of Pentecostal theology and liturgy, and especially to PAOC pastors, worship leaders, and songwriters." - Aaron Ross, <i>University of Toronto-Wycliffe College<i>, in: <i>Pneuma</i> 40:3 (2018), pp. 438-441.</i></i>
This volume offers a landmark analysis of the trinitarian impulses in contemporary worship music used by the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC). It considers whether the lyrics from the most commonly used PAOC songs are consistent with this Evangelical group’s trinitarian statement of faith.
Colin Gunton’s trinitarian theology provides the theological rationale for eight original and qualitative content analyses of these songs. Three major areas are considered—the doctrine of God, human personhood, and cosmology. Making use of Gunton’s notions of relationality, particularity, and perichoresis, along with several key Pentecostal scholars, this book serves as a helpful descriptive and prescriptive theological resource for the dynamic practice of a trinitarian faith.

This volume sensibly examines whether an inconsistency exists between a Canadian Pentecostal denomination’s trinitarian statement of faith and the songs they most commonly sing. Colin Gunton’s trinitarian theology is utilized as a framework for this landmark analysis.
