Pentecostalism is the fastest growing religious movement in the world, currently estimated to have at least 500 million adherents. In the movement's early years, most Pentecostal converts lived in relative poverty, yet the rapidly shifting social ecology of Pentecostal Christians includes many
middle-class individuals, as well as an increasing number of young adults attracted by the music and vibrant worship of these churches. The stereotypical view of Pentecostals as other-worldly and disengaged from politics and social ministry is also being challenged, as Pentecostals-including many
who are committed to working for social and political change-constitute growing minorities in many countries.
Spirit and Power addresses three main questions: Where is Pentecostalism growing globally? Why it is growing? What is its social and political impact? The contributors to this volume include
theologians, historians, and social scientists, who bring their diverse disciplinary perspectives to bear on these empirical questions. The essays draw on extensive survey research as well as in-depth ethnographic field methods, with analyses offering diverging and sometimes competing explanations
for the growth and impact of Pentecostalism around the world.

Editorial Reviews
Spirit and Power signals the scholarly coming age of the study of global Pentecostalism . a spectacular achievement.--
Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion
Spirit and Power makes a much need scholarly contribution to the study of global Pentecostalism... This volume sets the standard for a more sophisticated, multidimensional, and diverse comprehension of the growth and impact of global Pentecostalism.--
Journal of the American Academy of Religion
The twenty contributors to this volume are diverse in nationality, professional background, and academic disciplines... These valuable essays explicate this fastest growing segment of Christianity--renewalists. --
CHOICE
Amazing as it might have seemed a generation ago, we now have to reckon Pentecostal Christianity as one of the most successful and transformative global movements of the twentieth century. Fortunately, the topic has attracted some really first class scholarship, which is amply represented in
Spirit
and Power. This is a rich and multi-faceted collection of studies. Readable and, often, inspiring. ---Philip Jenkins, author of
The Next Christendom
Pentecostalism is indeed global and growing, and this volume makes a valuable contribution toward understanding how and why that is the case. --
Sociology of Religion
This is an extremely important book for everyone who takes religion seriously... --
