Description
This state-of-the-field overview of Pentecostalism around the world focuses on cultural developments among second- and third-generation adherents in regions with large Pentecostal communities, considering the impact of these developments on political participation, citizenship, gender relations, and economic morality. Leading scholars from anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and history present useful introductions to global issues and country-specific studies drawn from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the former USSR.

Religious Studies Review
Global Pentecostalism in the 21st Century is a valuable addition to the literature on a topic that was neglected by anthropologists for too long . . . it takes the pulse of an important field of research and begins to direct our gaze toward the futures of Pentecostalisms and to whatever new religious developments may come.
