In Pentecostals and Roman Catholics on Becoming a Christian, Dr. Karen Murphy explores the fifth round of the International Roman Catholic-Pentecostal Dialogue (1998-2006). Discussing Spirit-baptism, faith, conversion, experience, and discipleship, Dr. Murphy notes areas in which the Dialogue has evolved since its inception in 1972. She unpacks the commonalities that bond Catholics and Pentecostals and examines theological divergences and challenges to dialogue. While Catholics approach becoming a Christian from a sacramental perspective, most Pentecostals think of Christian initiation in non-sacramental, or conversionist, terms, a reality that fosters ongoing tensions between the two traditions. Dr. Murphy reveals how Catholics and Pentecostals seek to overcome this dichotomy by honoring spirituality and experience as integral to the ecumenical encounter.

"Een interessante bundel waarin de dialoog tussen de pinksterkerken en de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk, met name in de periode van 1998 tot 2006, erkend wordt. (...) Het boek laat zien hoe de pneumatologie een belangrijk startpunt is voor de toekomstige oecumenische dialoog tussen de pinksterkerken en de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk, juist omdat de gemeenschappelijke ervaringen van de Geest christenen aan elkaar verbinden in een eenheid met Christus." - K. v.d. Zwaag, in: Protestants Nederland, Volume 84.1 (2019) [Transl.: "An interesting volume in which the dialogue between the Pentecostal churches and the Roman Catholic Church, especially in the period from 1998 to 2006, is recognized. (...) The book shows pneumatology is an important starting point for the future ecumenical dialogue between the Pentecostal churches and the Roman Catholic Church, precisely because the common experiences of the Spirit connects Christians in a unity with Christ."]
