The Canadian Pentecostal Experience - Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies Paperback

About the Book

The Canadian Pentecostal Experience makes a significant contribution to global Pentecostal scholarship by providing important Canadian context. Because Canadian Pentecostalism is "glocal" (shaped by both local and global realities), these essays will spark conversations about how worldwide Pentecostalism is evolving.

Book Synopsis

The Canadian Pentecostal Experience includes eighteen essays organized into three themes: 1) Historiography and Early Canadian Pentecostalism; 2) Theological Practices and Processes; and 3) Social and Cultural Change. This collection makes a significant contribution to the growing literature of global Pentecostal scholarship. The works are important for the Canadian context but as the editors argue in the Introduction, Canadian Pentecostalism is "glocal" (shaped by both local and global realities). This collection will interest readers drawn from the wider field of religious studies and global Pentecostalism to initiate conversations about how Pentecostalism evolves in both its local and global expressions.
