He has authored 37 books with a reported circulation of 900,000 in 39 languages.[2] His works are commonly referred to in understanding the beliefs of Oneness Pentecostals.[3][4][5][6] His book, The New Birth (1984), is said to have been used more extensively than any other to demonstrate the beliefs of Oneness Pentecostals since published.[7] Other works regarded as notable include The Oneness of God (1983) and The Oneness of Jesus Christ (1994).[8]
Bernard has also engaged in scholarly dialogue with
trinitarians which has been welcomed by some in the wider
pentecostal community.[9][10][11] A "Trinity-Oneness Dialogue" also emerged at
Society for Pentecostal Studies during this time.[12] Bernard chaired the Oneness team.[13] More recently, Amos Young, a professor at
Fuller Theological Seminary, wrote that his work "marks the emerging maturation of the Oneness Pentecostal academy."[14]
