One hundred years after the Azusa Street Revival stunned Los Angeles and changed Western Christianity, Pentecostalism has become the fastest growing religious movement in the world.
However, many Pentecostal denominations in the United States are in a slow decline.
Will Pentecostalism survive in North America in the twenty-first century?
If so, what forms will it take? The Future of Pentecostalism in the United States brings together leading scholars of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity to discuss and forecast these issues.
The book looks at American Pentecostalism from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including sociology, theology, history, and the arts.
The book also considers various traditions and sub-movements within U.S.
Pentecostalism, such as African American Pentecostal and charismatic Latino churches, urban postmodern charismatic congregations, and the role of Pentecostal institutions of higher education.
