Pentecostals in the 21st Century

A little over one hundred years ago the Holy Spirit breathed a fresh awakening into little communities in Topeka Kansas (1901) and then on Azusa Street in California (1906). Over the past century this spiritual awakening has touched every country on the globe. By 2014 there were 631 million Pentecostals in the world comprising a quarter of all Christians and that number is forecast to grow to 800 million by 2025. This book offers a window into some of the unique features of this phenomenal movement through expert contributions from some of the world's preeminent Pentecostal theologians. It presents a Pentecostal perspective on important theological themes that pastors theologians and lay leaders are grappling with in the twenty-first century.
