Lisa P. Stephenson, Ph.D. (2009) in Religious Studies, Marquette University, is Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at Lee University. She has published articles in Scottish Journal of Theology, Journal of Church and State, and Pax Pneuma.

Winner of the Pneuma Book Award 2013"Stephenson demonstrates how drawing out Pentecostalism’s pneumatological impulse and then putting it into critical dialogue with current theological perspectives (in this case, Feminism) can constructively contribute to current theological concerns and church ministry practices. The importance of her book is attested by the fact that it was selected by the Society for Pentecostal Studies Editorial Committee to receive the 2013 Pneuma Book Award. [...] This book is a must read for theologians, students, and ministers interested in a substantial critique of Spirit baptism as simply an ecclesiastical function of empowerment, Pentecostal ecclesiastical polity addressing women in ministry, pneumatological (Pentecostal) feminist theology, egalitarian ecclesiology and anthropology, and a pneumatological methodology for theological praxis. I strongly recommend this work as a supplementary text for upper undergrad and graduate courses in Pentecostal and feminist theology."Kenneth Archer, Southeastern University, in Canadian Journal of Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity Vol 5 no. 1 (2014).
