A feature of the movement has been its embrace of pluralism and pragmatism. There are features of worship which are commonly and incorrectly considered to be distinctive to Pentecostalism. The quality of the spiritual experience of adherents provides a convincing explanation for its growing following. Pentecostalism has had a complex relationship with modernity. The movement faces challenges but the spiritual experience of Pentecostals could enrich conversations not only among Christians but also between Christians and those of different faith, even those with no faith at all. There are Pentecostals who are willing to explore the potential that lies in an expanding dialogue about spiritual experience around the world. - Table of Contents: Chapter One -- An Introduction to the Dissertation -- 1.1 Pentecostalism as a Rapidly Growing Feature of the Global Religious -- Stage - The Rationale for this Research -- 1.2 The Pursuit o f the Aim -- 1.3 The Suppositions of this Research -- 1.4 Sources and Data Collection -- 1.5 Methodology -- 1.6 Chapter Outline -- Chapter Two -- Rising to the Challenges of the Times: Grant Wacker's Historical Perspectives on Certain Defining Characteristics of the Pentecostal Movement -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 The Background of Grant Wacker -- 2.3 Wacker's Assessment o f the Reasons for the Growth of Pentecostalism - and the Development of his Ideas on the Matter -- 2.4 Grant Wacker and the 'Dilemma of Historical Consciousness' -- 2.5 The Genealogy o f Wacker's Ideas on the Dilemma o f Historical Consciousness and the Implications thereof for Pentecostalsim -- 2.6 Wacker's Understanding of the Sociology of Pentecostal Theology -- 2.7 The Historical Perception of Anti-intellectualism in the Pentecostal Tradition -- 2.8 Pentecostalism's Special Appeal to the Socially Disadvantaged -- 2.9 Glossolalia and Pentecostalism -- 2.10 The Prospects for Pentecostalism's Theological Dialogue with Other Christian Denominations, Other World Religions and Those Who Profess No Religion -- 2.11 Trinitarianism and Pentecostalism -- 2.12 Summary o f Grant Wacker's Historical Perspectives -- Chapter Three -- A Highway over the Crossroads: Margaret Poloma's Perspectives as a Sociologist Concerning the Pentecostal Movement -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 The Background of Margaret Poloma -- 3.3 The Genealogy of Poloma's Ideas -- 3.4 The Question o f Pentecostalism's Special Appeal for the Disadvantaged in Poloma's Assessment o f the Reasons for Pentecostalism's Growth Worldwide -- 3.5 The Protest against Modernity Theory -- 3.6 The Central Tenet of Spirit Baptism in Pentecostalism -- 3.7 Glossolalia or "Speaking in Tongues" -- 3.8 The Prospects for Pentecostalism's Theological Dialogue with Others: Past Perspectives and Present Dilemmas -- 3.9 Different 'Ways of Being' as Potential Barriers to Pentecostalism's Ecumenical Dialogue -- 3.10 The Potential for Pentecostalism in Ecumenical Dialogue -- 3.11 Summary of Poloma's Perspectives -- Chapter Four -- The Metaphor of Spirit Baptism: The Theology of Frank Macchia -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 The Background of Frank Macchia -- 4.3 Macchia's Assessment o f Pentecostalism as a Feature of the Global Religious Stage: the Significance of 'Spirit Baptism' -- 4.4 The Conditions that Gave Rise to the Pentecostal Tradition -- 4.5 Pentecostalism's Theological Dialogue, Historically, with the World: are Past Tendencies Likely to be Inherent in the Present and the Future?
