We used to own the 1994 version...and loaned it out, only to never get it back. This could be what one would consider very "heavy" or technical reading to explain what my heading says, but it's not. It is in simple, easy to understand language and I believe that's due to its revisions.
This book has various contributing authors, which takes away any "boredom" (if one were to think of it being that way, due to the title of the book), that explains their particular specialty of study, complete with Biblical, historical and archaeological proof in each instance, if need be. The authors address all the viewpoints, in all the "flaws" that mankind finds "wrong" with the Bible as it relates to man...then proves that it is MAN who is in error...not God.
Well worth the cost and time to read. There are approximately 20 authors and 18 chapters with over 600 pages.

A Systematic Theology from the Pentecostal Perspective as Taught by the Assemblies of God
A systematic theology from the Pentecostal perspective as taught by the Assemblies of God, it surveys the doctrines found in the Bible. Horton's "Theology" includes 149 pages (a bit under 1/4 of the book) discussing the work of the Holy Spirit and His work in sanctification, baptism, spiritual gifts, and divine healing, which seems wholly missing in the more popular evangelical and scholarly systematic theologies (except for J. Rodman Williams, "Renewal Theology," which I also recommend).This systematic work starts with a short history of Pentecostal history and the basis for Pentecostal theology before discussing the doctrines of inspiration, the existence and nature of God, angels and demons, Creation, Man, sin, the person and work of Christ – doctrines in every way the orthodox – and the Holy Spirit (as mentioned above; also orthodox, however, perhaps controversial to those who, not only disagree with Pentecostal theology but, mistakenly view it as heretical).Although not as in-depth in handling certain controversial issues, nevertheless, it explores various views discusses their strengths and weaknesses from a Biblically Pentecostal perspective. Interesting enough, Horton's "Systematic Theology" briefly, yet, it seems adequately, discusses the controversial "Jesus Only" or "Oneness Pentecostalism," a little of it's history and doctrine, and soundly rejects it (comparing it to Modalism and Sabellianism) in favor of the doctrine of God's triune nature.I recommend it for those who want to learn what are the main beliefs of Pentecostals, especially to those who adhere to whatever John MacArthur has to say, unjustifiably, against Pentecostals and Charismatics.There is one slight drawback, which i must reluctantly not, and that is the editing of this book is less than desired; there quite a few places were a word is misspelled or missing and maybe a couple of places where the sentence is convoluted. I do hope that with any further additions, they would redo the editing. It's distracting, at least, to me.Note: the photo I included is the 2013 printing of the revised edition.
