New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements

This dictionary sets modern, Spirit-filled Christianity in a context that spans two millennia and the entire Christian world. Like no other resource, this volume reveals in detail the full, sweeping legacy of Spirit-empowered movements that have touched hearts and lives both in modern America and across the centuries and continents: in medieval Europe, Finland in the 1700s, South India in the 1800s, Azusa Street at the turn of the 20th century—and much more, including ongoing moves of the Holy Spirit throughout the world today. One thousand entries provide the most extensive information available on Pentecostal, charismatic, and neocharismatic movements. The diverse topics covered include, as a small sample, glossolalia, black and Hispanic Pentecostalism, prophecy, the role of women, faith and healing, music, sociology, missions, church growth, and different historic and contemporary revivals.

Stanley M. Burgess (Ph.D., University of Missouri-Columbia) is professor of religious studies at Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield, Missouri.
