The Pentecostal World provides a comprehensive and critical
introduction to one of the most vibrant and diverse expressions of
contemporary Christianity. Unlike many books on Pentecostalism,
this collection of essays from all continents does not attempt to
synthesize and simplify the movement's inherent diversity and
fragmented dispersion. Instead, the global flows of Pentecostalism
are firmly grounded in local histories and expressions as well as
the various modes of their worldwide reproduction. The book thus
argues for a new understanding of Pentecostal and Charismatic
movements that accounts for the simultaneous processes of
pluralization and homogenization in contemporary World
Christianity. Written by a distinguished team of international
contributors across various disciplines, the volume is comprised of
six sections, with each offering a critical perspective on
classical themes in the study of Pentecostalism. Led by a
programmatic introduction, the thirty-six chapters within these
sections explore a variety of themes: history and historiography,
conversion, spirit beliefs and exorcism, prosperity, politics,
gender relations, sexual identities, racism, development,
migration, pilgrimage, inter-religious relations, media, ecumenism,
and academic research. The Pentecostal World is essential reading
for students and researchers in anthropology, history, political
science, religious studies, sociology, and theology. The Handbook
will also be very useful for those in related fields, such as
culture studies, Black studies, ethnic studies, and gender studies.
