Past Earnest Lau Professor of Systematic Theology,
Trinity Theological College
Simon Chan is the former Earnest Lau professor of systematic theology at Trinity Theological College. He holds a PhD in historical theology from the University of Cambridge, an MDiv from Asian Theological Seminary and MTh from Southeast Asia Graduate School of Theology.
Dr Simon has made significant contributions to the fields of liturgy, spirituality, and theology, and currently, he focuses on research and writing, exploring the intersection of these disciplines. He is the chief editor of the Asia Journal of Theology, a publication of the Association for Theological Education in Southeast Asia.
Dr Simon has published numerous books and journal articles and is widely recognised for his deep understanding of Christian liturgical traditions and their practical implications for spiritual formation. He is also an ordained minister of the Assemblies of God.
Historically, Pentecostal-charismatics have not managed well the biblical tension between the “already” and “not yet” of the eschatological kingdom. This paper proposes that the liturgy can address this problem. Practicing the liturgy will result in a holistic Pentecostal spirituality.
