This book is a pneumatological reflection on the use and abuse of
the Spirit in light of the abuse of religion within South African
Pentecostalism. Both emerging and well-established scholars of
South African Pentecostalism are brought together to reflect on
pneumatology from various approaches, which includes among others:
historical, biblical, migration, commercialisation of religion,
discernment of spirits and human flourishing. From a broader
understanding of the function of the Holy Spirit in different
streams of Pentecostalism, the argument is that this function has
changed with the emergence of the new Prophetic churches in South
Africa. This is a fascinating insight into one of the major
emerging worldwide religious movements. As such, it will be of
great interest to academics in Pentecostal Studies, Christian
Studies, Theology, and Religious Studies as well as African Studies
and the Sociology of Religion.

Description: Employing studies in population ecology as a framework
for understanding the growth of religious movements,
Disfellowshiped traces the growth of the Pentecostal movement. The
author explores how the Pentecostal movement developed in
relationship to Fundamentalism from its roots in the Holiness
movement to the formation of the National Association of
Evangelicals. Particular attention is given to the various
critiques and rebuttals exchanged between Fundamentalists and
Pentecostals, exploring how these two movements influenced and
shaped one another. This book shows how, despite their mutual
antagonism, these two movements held far more in common than in
contrast. This book will be of great importance to all those
interested in the history of Fundamentalism and the rise of
Pentecostalism. Endorsements: ""Pentecostalism emerged in the early
years of the twentieth century, shortly followed by Fundamentalism.
The adherents of the two movements shared an Evangelical heritage
and yet they disagreed sharply with each other. Members of each
group denounced the other as betrayers of the gospel and worse.
Gerald King has analyzed their antagonistic rhetoric and its
theological premises, vividly illuminating a world in which the two
sides 'disfellowshiped' each other."" --David Bebbington author of
Victorian Nonconformity (Cascade, 2011) ""For too long historians,
following the lead of a handful of anti-pentecostal preachers from
the 1920s, have treated fundamentalism and pentecostalism as
totally distinct movements. As Gerald W. King's compelling book
reveals, the relationship between pentecostals and fundamentalists
has been far more complicated than most scholars realize.
Disfellowshiped is a carefully researched book that makes a
significant contribution to the religious history of the interwar
era."" --Matthew Avery Sutton author of Aimee Semple McPherson and
the Resurrection of Christian America (2007) About the
Contributor(s): Gerald King is a recent PhD graduate of the
University of Birmingham (UK).
