In Transatlantic Charismatic Renewal, c.1950-2000, Andrew
Atherstone, Mark Hutchinson and John Maiden bring together leading
researchers to examine one of the globally most important religious
movements of the twentieth century. Variously referred to as the
charismatic 'renewal' or 'revival', it was a key Christian response
to globalization, modernity and secularization. Unlike other
accounts (which focus either on denominational pentecostalism or
charismatic phenomena outside the West), this volume describes
transatlantic Christianity drawing deeply on its pneumatic roots to
bring about renewal. New research in archives and overlooked
journals illuminate key figures from David du Plessis to John
Wimber, providing insights which challenge the standard
interpretations of the charismatic movement's origins and
influence.
