The New Canadian Pentecostals

• Broschiertes Buch

This book takes readers into the everyday religious lives of the members of three Pentecostal congregations located in Canada. The case study presented in this book suggests that a new breed of Pentecostals are emerging for whom traditional definitions and expressions of Pentecostalism are less important than religious autonomy and individualism.
