Bethel Church (Redding, California) is one of the most influential churches in America. The charismatic megachurch has garnered attention through its widely popular Bethel Music, books, conferences, and senior pastor, Bill Johnson. Bethel is also known for its instances of supernatural power. Divine healings, ecstatic manifestations, miracles, and prophetic words are common at the church. As such, Bethel has garnered its share of critics and controversies. Evangelical pastor Andy Fitzgerald (DMin) conducted a four-month ethnographic study of Bethel Church. In the first extensive study of the church, Dr. Fitzgerald observed and participated daily in Bethel's community, sat under its teaching, and interviewed its members and leaders to see how the church understands and practices supernatural power. In A Powerful Presence, Fitzgerald analyzes Bethel culturally and theologically by interacting with thinkers such as Charles Taylor, Jurgen Moltmann, and James Dunn. Dr. Fitzgerald brings his insights to bear for an appreciative but not uncritical look at Bethel Church. This book offers new learnings and opens new pathways for churches and leaders to regain their apostolic footing in today's modern world.
