Died: C. Peter Wagner, Theologian, Bible Teacher, and Church Growth Specialist
He was not on the list.
C. Peter Wagner, 86, died Oct. 21, 2016. Author or editor of
more than 70 books, he was a Christian theologian, Bible teacher, missiologist,
missionary, and church growth specialist.
According to Wikipedia, Wagner was a missionary in Bolivia
from 1956 to 1971 and then served for 30 years as professor of Church Growth at
Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of World Missions until his
retirement in 2001. He was the president of Global Harvest Ministries and
chancellor emeritus of Wagner Leadership Institute, which serves to
train leaders to join in a movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, an
organization Wagner also helped to found. Wagner coined the term The Third Wave
to identify a new movement of the Holy Spirit. He explained the Third Wave as
“a gradual opening of straightline evangelical churches to the supernatural
ministry of the Holy Spirit without the participants becoming either
Pentecostals or Charismatics.”
