This volume traces the history of Oneness Pentecostalism in North
America. It maps the major ideas, arguments, periodization, and
historical figures; corrects long-standing misinterpretations; and
draws attention to how race and gender impacted the growth and
trajectories of this movement. Oneness Pentecostalism first emerged
in the United States around 1913, baptizing its members in the name
of Jesus Christ rather than the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and
splintering from trinitarian Pentecostals. With its rapid growth
throughout the twentieth century, especially among ethnic
minorities, Oneness Pentecostalism assumed a diversity of
theological, ethnic, and cultural expressions. This book reckons
with the multiculturalism of the movement over the course of the
twentieth century. While common interpretations tend to emphasize
the restorationist impulse of Oneness Pentecostalism, leading to
notions of a static, unchanging movement, the contributors to this
work demonstrate that the movement is much more fluid and that the
interpretation of its history and theology should be grounded in
the variegated North American contexts in which Oneness
Pentecostalism has taken root and dynamically developed.
Groundbreaking and interdisciplinary, this volume presents diverse
perspectives on a significant religious movement whose modern
origins are embedded within the larger Pentecostal story. It will
be welcomed by religious studies scholars and by practitioners of
Oneness Pentecostalism. In addition to the editors, the
contributors to this volume are Daniel Chiquete, Dara Coleby
Delgado, Patricia Fortuny-Loret de Mola, Manuel Gaxiola, David
Reed, Rosa Sailes, and Daniel Segraves.
Concerned that so many Christians have not reached their spiritual
potential, Dr. Tim Bagwell shares the revelation he has received to
help you come to the place of Possessing Your Prophetic Promise.
