Produktbeschreibung

In this book, William Kostelvy uncovers the forgotten roots of American Pentecostalism by telling the story of an important radical communal society, the Metropolitan Church Association. Known as "Burning Bushers," its members objected to capitalism, confronted "elite" denominations, and offered an alternative, radical vision of Christianity.
