The New Canadian Pentecostals takes readers into the everyday
religious lives of the members of three Pentecostal congregations
located in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Using the rich
qualitative and quantitative data gathered through participant
observation, personal interviews, and surveys conducted within
these congregations, Adam Stewart provides the first book-length
study focusing on the specific characteristics of Canadian
Pentecostal identity, belief, and practice. Stewart asserts that
Pentecostalism remains an important tradition in the Canadian
religious landscape - contrary to the assumptions of many Canadian
sociologists and scholars of religion. Recent decreases in Canadian
Pentecostal affiliation recorded by Statistics Canada are not the
result of Pentecostals abandoning their congregations; rather, they
are indicative of a radical transformation from traditionally
Pentecostal to generically evangelical modes of religious identity,
belief, and practice that are changing the ways that Pentecostals
understand and explain their religious identities. The case study
presented in this book suggests that a new breed of Canadian
Pentecostals are emerging for whom traditional definitions and
expressions of Pentecostalism are much less important than
religious autonomy and individualism.
