Rezensionen
"Michael Wilkinson shows how Pentecostalism in a global context intersects with ethnicity, migration, and transnational networks. Using empirical work among immigrant Pentecostal congregations in Canada, he demonstrates how these local groups are also global in make-up and orientation. The book is vital reading for anyone interested in how religion contributes to and shapes globalization." (Peter Beyer, Professor, University of Ottawa; Author of 'Religion and Globalization')
