Handbook of Pentecostal Christianity is an easy-to-read guide
designed for those interested in learning about one of the fastest
growing religious traditions in the world. Adam Stewart's unique
collection presents concise, yet comprehensive explanations of some
of the most important terms and concepts needed to understand the
origins and development, as well as the beliefs and practices, of
Pentecostalism worldwide. Twenty-four scholars from five continents
provide entries, which are written from disciplinary perspectives
as diverse as anthropology, biblical studies, black church studies,
history, religious studies, sociology, and theology. The fifty
entries shed light on such aspects as The Azusa Street Mission and
Revival, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, exorcism, Godly Love,
prophecy, snake handling, and the Word of Faith movement. Each
entry also includes a brief list of references and suggestions for
further reading. These brief, engaging explanations on aspects of
Pentecostalism can be read on their own, or alphabetically from
start to finish. In its entirety, Stewart's text provides the
reader with an introduction to the history, theology, practices,
and contemporary forms of Pentecostalism as it stands at the outset
of the twenty-first century. Stewart's handbook is an appealing
introduction to Pentecostalism suitable for both students of
religion and the curious general reader.
