With its remarkable ability to adapt to many different cultures,
Pentecostalism has become the world's fastest growing religious
movement. More than five hundred million adherents worldwide have
reshaped Christianity itself. Yet some fundamental questions in the
study of global Pentecostalism, and even in what we call
'Pentecostalism', remain largely unaddressed. Bringing together
leading scholars in the social sciences, history, and theology,
this unique volume explores these questions for this rapidly
growing, multidisciplinary field of study. A valuable resource for
anyone studying new forms of Christianity, it offers insights and
guidance on both theoretical and methodological issues. The first
section of the book examines such topics as definitions,
essentialism, postcolonialism, gender, conversion, and
globalization. The second section features contributions from those
working in psychology, anthropology, sociology, and history. The
third section traces the boundaries of theology from the
perspectives of pneumatology, ecumenical studies, inter-religious
relations, and empirical theology.
