Today it is still the only work to present an easily accessible overview of the history, people, theological perspectives, and institutions that have defined the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. This newly revised and expanded edition is distinctive in at least six ways: ? It brings the history and classification of the Pentecostal and charismatic movements up to date. ? It now covers the Pentecostal and charismatic movements worldwide rather than focusing almost exclusively on North America. ? It presents startling new statistics on the growth of classical Pentecostalism as well as the charismatic and neocharismatic movements. ? Several indexes give readers easy access to material on people, places, and topics that do not have an entry of their own, as well as access to secondary discussions of a given topic. ? Cross-references in each article help both specialists and nonspecialists find their way through the massive amount of information provided. ? The new trim size and expanded graphics (well over 500 illustrations) make the book more appealing and attractive to contemporary readers.
