Holiness and Pentecostal Movements

Holiness and Pentecostal Movements, Volume 1, provides a multidisciplinary examination of the historical forces that shaped modern World Christianity. This scholarly work explores the significant influence these movements have exerted since the 1830s. The text analyzes the distinct identities of the Holiness Movement, including the Salvation Army and the Church of the Nazarene, alongside the Pentecostal Movement, represented by the Assemblies of God. By investigating how various denominations harmonize these two traditions, the book offers a deep look into the evolution of Christian theology and church history.

As the first volume in the Studies in the Holiness and Pentecostal Movements series, this academic study tracks the circulation of ideas across the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and East Asia. It serves as a vital resource for those researching religion, comparative religion, and Pentecostal and Charismatic studies. The contributors offer new perspectives on the complex relationships between different denominations and the global impact of these religious shifts.
