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."
The Wesleyan tradition of the 18th century and its related
movements has had a global impact that has often been understated
and underestimated. Charles Yrigoyen, Jr. presents a diverse
collection of essays that document the Wesleyan traditions from
founder John Wesley's preaching across Great Britain to his
followers' spread of Methodist views throughout Latin America,
Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe. Through a series of essays,
The Global Impact of the Wesleyan Traditions and Their Related
Movements documents the influence of Methodist missionaries on
peoples and religions throughout the world. The text is divided
into three parts: Part I includes four essays about basic
missiological and methodological issues; Part II includes 15 essays
that illuminate the global impact of the Wesleyan traditions and
related movements on topics such as independent churches in Africa
and the Hwa Nan College in China; and Part III describes the
resources for researching and extending the global impact of
traditions of Wesley's works, such as the Obras de Wesley (the
Spanish version of Wesley's works) and the valuable collection of
Wesleyana and Methodistica materials at the John Rylands University
Library in Manchester, Great Britain. Diverse in scope, The Global
Impact of the Wesleyan Traditions and Their Related Movements is a
comprehensive volume for religious scholars and historians
interested in the Wesleyan traditions.
