Global Pentecostalism cover

How and why is Christianity's center of gravity shifting to the developing world? To understand this rapidly growing phenomenon, Donald E. Miller and Tetsunao Yamamori spent four years traveling the globe conducting extensive on-the-ground research in twenty different countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. The result is this vividly detailed book and accompanying online material, which together contain the most comprehensive information available on Pentecostalism, the fastest-growing religion in the world. Rich with scenes from everyday life, Miller and Yamamori dispel many stereotypes about this religion as they build a wide-ranging, nuanced portrait of a major new social movement. The online ancillary material features footage of Pentecostal religious worship, testimony, and social activism, and includes interviews with Pentecostal pastors and leaders from around the world.

"An informative and highly readable account that puts faces and names on what is quickly becoming the major expression of Christianity around the globe." Intnl Bltn Of Missionary Rsrch "Offers scholarly precision and journalistic engagement, not a fast and easy series of happy stories-but it's worth the effort." World Magazine "This book is a delight to read. The sense that you are discovering a new and exciting spiritual movement inhabits every page." -- Jacqueline Wenger Catholic Studies: An On-Line Journal "This is a highly recommended and readable book."
