An authoritative and accessible examination of the fastest-growing religious movement in the world today.
Combining personal stories and sound scholarship, Paul Alexander, a young scholar with a Pentecostal background, examines the phenomenal worldwide success of Pentecostalism. While most other works on the subject are either for academics or believers, this book speaks to a broader audience. Interweaving stories of his own and his family's experiences with an account ofPentecostalism's history and tenets--including its strong early pacifist traditions--Alexander provides a unique and accessible perspective on the movement.
