Beskrivning
Pentecostal communities are often characterized as focused on personal salvation to the exclusion of engagement with society and culture at large. But as the contributions to this volume show, there is an astoundingly diverse array of traditions that identify with the Holiness, Radical Holiness, or Pentecostal movements, and each brings with it a long and complex history of social engagement—and, at times, disengagement—that needs to be examined in historical context.Accordingly, this volume explores how churches (and individuals) influenced by Holiness and Pentecostal thought have offered aid to the needy, advocated for social justice, and situated themselves politically, all while navigating their own marginalization as religious communities. The chapters plumb histories of abolition, racial justice, rescue missions, and cultural politics—from African Methodism as a fulcrum for Black liberation to the Pentecostal practice of providing sanctuary for undocumented migrants, the Salvation Army’s fraught internationalism, and the development of blues, jazz, and gospel in the Sanctified churches. The book does not offer a single theological vision but rather unfurls for readers the richness of the Pentecostal, Holiness, and Radical Holiness movements’ pluralistic engagements with societies in their various contexts. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Rebecca Carter-Chand, Dale M. Coulter, Dara Coleby Delgado, Dennis C. Dickerson, Amanda Koch, John Maiden, Priscilla Pope-Levison, Daniel Ramírez, and Randall J. Stephens.

Recensioner i media

“Among the many assumptions about the Holiness and Pentecostal movements, one prevalent one has been that these folk are ‘heavenly minded and no earthly good.’ The contributions in this important volume, instead, demonstrate there has been intentional and effective involvement in issues of social justice.; just as the movements themselves are diverse, so have been the approaches. What is particularly striking is the ways in which race all but predicts which issues will be addressed, as well as the approaches taken. This book not only challenges the popular myth, but opens the door to much-needed further conversation.”—Kimberly Ervin Alexander, author of Pentecostal Healing: Models in Theology and Practice
