On the website of another online bookseller, there is a notice that a new edition of the Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements will be available on or about July 21, 2001. This is a welcome addition to the still useful Dicionary. Events in the religious world outside the United States are significant and people in the US tend to be ignorant of the persons involved as well as the movements themselves. Together, the two books should provide a chronology and completeness not available until now.
Excellent(but too old)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This may be the best examination of Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity available in one volume. All aspects of the history and theology of the movement are examined respectfully and in great detail and its more bizarre manifestations are not covered up or ignored.This book's major drawback is its age. It desperately needs updating; a great deal has happened in Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity since 1988. The Trinity Broadcasting Network barely registers here, and such current Pentecostal and charismatic luminaries as T. D. Jakes, Clarence McClendon, Benny Hinn, Rod Parsley, and others do not show up at all. This book is as good a reference source for Pentecostalism as exists. If it were updated, it would be even better.
Best one volume reference on Pentecostal/Charismatic movents

As a Penecostal missionary and bible college student I have found this to be one of the best refernces on the market. I encourage those who adhere to Pentecostal/Charismatic theologies to buy this book.
