Criticism
Wimber's theology and methods have been challenged by cessationist Christians. Their criticism focuses mainly on his embrace of Kingdom theology. Critics also argue that Wimber's emphasis on dramatic proofs of spiritual power show a lack reliance on the Bible, and instead rely on practices derived from New Age philosophy and humanistic psychology.
Critical considerations of Wimber's work and approaches to evangelism can be found online.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
