Oneness Pentecostalism

Oneness Pentecostalism, volume 1, provides a comprehensive historical examination of the Oneness Pentecostal movement in North America. This religious studies text traces the origins of the movement following the Azusa Street Revival, focusing on the theological shift toward baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ. The work maps major historical figures, arguments, and periodization to correct previous misinterpretations of this specific branch of Christianity.

This scholarly volume explores how race and gender influenced the growth and diverse trajectories of the movement throughout the twentieth century. Rather than viewing the tradition as a static restorationist impulse, the contributors demonstrate the fluid, multicultural nature of Oneness Pentecostalism across various ethnic and cultural contexts. As a significant work of Christian theology and history, this book offers an interdisciplinary look at the complex development of Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations.
