Why Pentecostalism Is the World′s Fastest Growing Faith
Samenvatting
Combining personal stories and sound scholarship, Paul Alexander, a young scholar with a Pentecostal background, examines the phenomenal worldwide success of Pentecostalism. While most other works on the subject are either for academics or believers, this book speaks to a broader audience. Interweaving stories of his own and his family′s experiences with an account of Pentecostalism′s history and tenets, Alexander provides a unique and accessible perspective on the movement.
