Estrelda Alexander was raised in an urban, black, working-class,
oneness Pentecostal congregation in the 1950s and 1960s, but she
knew little of her heritage and thought that all Christians
worshiped and believed as she did. Much later she discovered that
many Christians not only knew little of her heritage but considered
it strange. Even today, most North Americans remain ignorant of
black Pentecostalism. Black Fire remedies lack of historical
consciousness by recounting the story of African American
Pentecostal origins and development. In this fascinating
description she covers what Pentecostalism retained from African
spirituality the legacy of the nineteenth-century black Holiness
movement William J. Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival African
American trinitarian and oneness Pentecostal denominations the role
of women in African American Pentecostalism African American
neo-Pentecostals and charismatic movements black Pentecostals in
majority-white denominations theological challenges of black
Pentecostalism in the twenty-first century Whether you come from an
African American Pentecostal background or you just want to learn
more, this book will unfold all the dimensions of this important
movement's history and contribution to the life of the church.
