"Michael Bergunder has woven a skillful tapestry of historical
narrative from many strands, based on his declared method of
establishing diachronous and synchronous networks and on
comprehensive fieldwork. His rich theoretical analysis draws
extensively from the South Indian religious context. This book will
stand as a benchmark in the study of global Pentecostalism for
years to come." Cecil M. Robeck Jr.
-- Fuller Theological Seminary
"The study of global Pentecostalism is just beginning to take off.
Michael Bergunder is one of the emerging younger scholars who are
working on issues related to global Pentecostalism. This book
stands in the vanguard of much-needed regional studies that are
bringing new light to important facets of the Pentecostal movement
that have not previously received adequate attention. . . Bergunder
emphasizes the international networks that made the movement
possible and argues that Pentecostalism has been a global movement
from the beginning. Clearly, this book will find its way into the
center of future discussions on the origins, form, and
contributions of Pentecostalism to contemporary understandings of
Indian Christianity." André Droogers
-- Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
"The publication in English of Michael Bergunder's thorough study
of South Indian Pentecostalism, originally published in German,
makes a model study available to the English-speaking world. This
book is a landmark study. . . Sets a standard for similar studies
of Pentecostalism in other regions."
