Pentecostalism is one of the most dynamic forces in
twentieth-century Christianity. From fast-growing denominations
such as the Assemblies of God to popular television ministries such
as "The 700 Club," the fruits of Pentecostalism can be seen
throughout modern Christian life.
In this landmark study, Donald Dayton explains how Pentecostalism
grew out of Methodism and the nineteenth-century holiness revivals.
He finds evidence of Wesleyan teaching in the classic writings of
many Pentecostal leaders. He shows how Pentecostalism is rooted in
the Wesleyan theological tradition, rather than being a contrived
system of modern revivalistic ides. Martin E. Marty says in his
foreword that Pentecostals "have no choice, it is clear from this
book, but to see that there were . . . roots to the growth they
reaped." He calls "Theological Roots of Pentecostalism" "a very
important statement . . . one without which subsequent commentators
on Pentecostalism are not likely to give intelligent accounts."
