Zusatztext William Kostlevy, master encyclopedist and bibliographer of holiness currents, narrates the formation of the radical Holiness Movement in which Pentecostalism was conceived before its birth in the 20th century. Careful readers of his book will be fascinated by the story of the 'holy jumpers,' will have many of their cherished assumptions about evangelicalism and its social expression challenged, and will learn much about these movements in Asia and around the world. I enthusiastically welcome this study.
