Pentecostals in Britain
Historical examination of the development of the Pentecostal movement in Britain.
Pentecostalism: A Very Short Introduction
In religious terms Pentecostalism was probably the most vibrant and rapidly-growing religious movement of the 20th century. Starting as a revivalistic and renewal movement within Christianity, it encircled the globe in less than 25 years and grew in North America and then in those parts of the world with the highest birth-rates. Characterised by speaking in tongues, miracles, television evangelism and megachurches, it is also noted for its small-group meetings, empowerment of individuals, liberation of women and humanitarian concerns. Without the financial and military support of the state (as was the case with communism), it flourished in almost every conceivable socio-political environment...
SCM Core Text Pentecostalism
The Pentecostal and charismatic movements showed astonishing growth in the twentieth century so as to arrive at a total that is said to include at least 400 million people worldwide. The academic study of the Pentecostal and charismatic movement has been gaining momentum in the last few years, both as an element within contemporary religious studies and as a strand within the subject area of church history, going back to the early church. This student-friendly text is essential reading for students of Theology and Religious Studies, taking second or third year modules in Pentecostal studies. It is also of great relevance to students of sociology of religion, as well as cultural and historical studies of religion and religious movements. In addition to a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the subject, it offers useful resources such as suggestions for further reading, questions for reflection and a glossary of technical terms.
George Jeffreys
"During the first half of the twentieth century, George Jeffreys was one of the world's leading Pentecostal ministers. He regularly hired London's Royal Albert Hall and filled it to capacity, and he did the same in the other great venues in major cities with the extraordinary result that congregations which still exist today were formed from his numerous converts. He founded two denominations, Elim Pentecostal Church and the Bible Pattern Church. Converted during the Welsh Revival, he saw Holy Spirit revival as the answer to every spiritual, social, and political problem, and in his mesmeric addresses to huge audiences he stressed the supernatural nature of Christianity. Yet, the last parts of his life were blighted by a heart-rending struggle against the denomination he had founded and principles he had first taught. This book, the first full-length account of Jeffreys' life and ministry, places him against the background of the two World Wars, the modernisation of London, and turbulent events in Israel and fascist Europe." -- Back cover
A Pentecostal Commentary on the Pastoral Epistles
The Pastoral Epistles throw light on the early days of the church and the final phase of Paul’s life. This commentary scrutinizes the biblical text while attending to the missional, pastoral, and spiritual challenges facing the worldwide Pentecostal and charismatic (or renewalist) movement. It is written for today’s church without ignoring scholarly literature and cultural perspectives. The ministry of women, the appointment of elders, prophecy, church governance, living as a Christian in the Roman Empire, the end times, charismatic gifts, spiritual warfare, slavery, and ordination all feature.
Apostolic Networks in Britain
Apostolic networks link congregations together through personal relationships. They center around apostolic figures who have the ability to mobilize resources, make rapid decisions, and utilize charismatic gifts. Networks of churches organized in this way can respond to postmodernity and cultural innovation. This book takes the story of the emergence of apostolic networks in Britain from the visionary work of Arthur Wallis through the charismatic renewal into the full-fledged Restoration Movement of the 1980s. It covers the events of the 1990s, including the Toronto Blessing, and contains fresh information based upon interviews with leading players and new survey data as well as reanalysis of historical documents.
