Sociology of Pentecostalism provides the first systematic sociological synthesis of Pentecostal-charismatic movements, offering theoretical keys to understand this global religious phenomenon through twenty years of research.
This comprehensive analysis fills a critical gap in religious sociology by moving beyond scattered anthropological studies to provide a unified theoretical framework. Readers will gain deep insights into Pentecostal origins, distinguishing historical facts from institutional legends, and understand the complex processes of conversion, healing experiences, and emotional practices. The book explores contemporary challenges including Pentecostalism's relationship with globalization, local cultures, and political engagement. By connecting Pentecostal studies to broader sociological themes of individual autonomy, institutional authority, and evolving forms of commitment, it offers valuable analytical tools for understanding modern religious transformation. Policy makers, religious leaders, and anyone seeking to understand one of the fastest-growing religious movements worldwide will find this theoretical synthesis invaluable for grasping Pentecostalism's broader sociological significance in contemporary society.
This book provides an essential analysis for sociologists of religion, anthropologists, theologians, and religious studies scholars seeking a systematic understanding of Pentecostalism. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers studying contemporary religious movements, globalization and religion, or the sociology of conversion and religious experience.
