A history of Pentecostal New Life churches in New Zealand, 1942-1979, based on oral interviews with pastors and congregation members.

The History of a New Zealand Pentecostal Movement
This work traces the emergence of the New Zealand Pentecostal Movement in the 1940s and its growth to become one of the largest Pentecostal movements in New Zealand in the 1970s. It examines the ways in which this movement's original revivalism became linked with moralist concerns and with the application of political pressure for social change. A secondary avenue of enquiry is the way in which the New Life Churches and the emerging New Zealand charismatic movement had reciprocal effects. This volume includes biographical notes on important figures, maps of the movement's development and expansion, and a bibliography.

Destiny: The Life and Times of a Self-Made Apostle
' . . . a comprehensive, balanced and perceptive account' --Michael Grimshaw, NZ Listener 'This account by Massey University history professor Peter Lineham is fascinating, detailed and more nuanced than the media coverage Tamaki attracted. Lineham puts the ambitious church in context, nationally and internationally.' --Philip Matthews, Weekend Press While Destiny Church began in 1998, it rose to notoriety in 2004 with its 'Enough is Enough' march against what it deemed society's declining moral standards. Destiny and its leader Brian Tamaki have since become a significant - if controversial - presence in New Zealand's religious, political and Maori worlds. But what is Destiny? What does it stand for? Who are its followers? Destiny, written by respected commentator Peter Lineham, is the first full and independent account of the church and its personnel. With unprecedented access to its inner workings, including interviews with Bishop Brian Tamaki and other pastors, Lineham reveals the truth about the man and the movement, addressing the public's questions and fears, and delivering a fascinating picture of the organisation on the eve of launching its 'City of God'.
