The Pentecostal/Charismatic movement has been a powerhouse for world missions. This excellent book tells how it got there ... and where it might be going. Stan Guthrie Author, Missions in the Third Millennium Senior Associate Editor, Christianity Today For two decades now, Azusa Street and Beyond has been a durable classic, a pioneer publication in the field of Pentecostal missiology. It well deserves revised republication. I strongly support Grant McClung’s significant book on Pentecostal missiology. Russell P. Spittler Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Vanguard University Costa Mesa, California The revised version of Azusa Street and Beyond is a worthwhile project. The 100 year anniversary of the Azusa Street awakening is an appropriate time to reissue this significant volume in an expanded and updated form. Byron D. Klaus, President Assemblies of God Theological Seminary Springfield, Missiouri With the perfect blend of scholarship and pentecostal passion, Grant McClung has provided the Christian community an up-to-date analysis of God’s work among Spirit-filled people. At the beginning of a new century, this work is a must read for those looking to the future with an understanding of the past. Doug Beacham Executive Director, World Missions Ministries International Pentecostal Holiness Church www.wmm.iphc.org Upon the 100-year celebration of the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, Grant McClung has presented the world with a masterful compilation of writings along with his insightful overview as a resourceful gift in the study of Pentecostal Missiology. His attention and understanding to historical perspective, current realities and future expectations for Holy Spirit empowered kingdom expansion is a must read and should ignite a fire in the heart of every believer. Mike Larkin Vice President Global Operations and Director of Missions International Church of the Foursquare Gospel All knowledgeable observers agree: The fastest growing and most vibrant branch of Christianity today is represented in the worldwide Pentecostal movement and its Charismatic cousins. The insiders claim to be part of a spiritual awakening that liberates and empowers them by the Holy Spirit for the holy task of world evangelization, the practice of spiritual gifts, joyful living and spontaneous worship. This amazing book documents both the claims of the observers and the experience of the participants. The editor—himself a proficient author, strategic practitioner and globally recognized mission leader—is to be congratulated for this second edition of what is now a significantly enlarged, updated and forward-looking volume that both informs and motivates for living and practicing a Christ-centered and spirit-filled life in fellowship with the global community celebrating a “new Pentecost.” Peter Kuzmic Eva B. and Paul E. Toms Distinguished Professor of World Missions and European Studies Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary The book will be a welcomed and good tool for missionaries, Bible college teachers and students, and all believers as well as to all those who want to know about Pentecostalism. Arto Hamalainen, Chairman of Pentecostal European Mission Chairman of the Mission Commission of the Pentecostal World Fellowship This revision of Azusa Street and Beyond by Grant McClung will be welcomed by many. The compiler has retained most of the original essays, but added 12 new ones making this an important addition to the growing literature on Pentecostal Christianity in the 21st century. The article by Allan Anderson in particular focuses on Pentecostal origins and explosive growth beyond North America among the Poor of the Majority World. Roger E. Hedlund Managing Editor, Dharma Deepika: A South Asian Journal of Missiological Research and Director of the Dictionary of South Asian Christianity Project at the Mylapore Institute for Indigenous Studies, Chennai, India. Azusa Street and Beyond is essential reading for those interested in the implications of the emerging global Pentecostal movement. Darrin J. Rodgers Director, Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center www.agheritage.org …a great addition to the Centennial of Azusa Street. James D. Leggett, Chairman Pentecostal World Fellowship The title is the theme for the American Society of Missiology meeting in June 2006. I am very pleased to endorse the project. Kenneth D. Gill, Associate Director Billy Graham Center Wheaton, Illinois This is a unique volume documenting a unique movement that has changed the face of Christianity the world over—and especially in Latin America, where over 80 percent of all Protestantism is Pentecostal/ Charismatic, a fruit of the acts of the Holy Spirit. Azusa Street and Beyond is an invaluable source of knowing the roots of this movement. There are very few good textbooks having to do with Pentecostal missiology in general. This is one of the foundational works. Charles Van Engen Professor of Biblical Theology of Missions Fuller Seminary School of Intercultural Studies President, Latin American Christian Ministries I highly recommend the republication of Azusa Street and Beyond. Since the release of the original version in 1986, the Pentecostals have made tremendous strides in missions and church growth. The revision and republication of this book should be of great value and high interest to the church world at large. G. Dennis McGuire General Overseer of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) www.churchofgod.cc The Pentecostal movement is marching around the world like a mighty army. Grant McClung traces the steps of the movement in a methodical, scholarly, and inspirational style. He has brought together the thinking, writings, and forecasting of prominent and respected leaders of various Pentecostal denominations, groups, and agencies. The material in Azusa Street and Beyond will provide insights on the “spontaneous strategy of the Spirit” plus a structure for planning and building for the future. The book will be a valuable addition to the library of every minister. Raymond F. Culpepper First Assistant General Overseer Church of God International Offices www.churchofgod.cc Preparing for the Azusa Street revival’s centennial celebration, my mind reflects on words my mother heard years ago as a young woman evangelist in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. Mother heard R. G. Spurling Jr., leader of the small band of believers who started the Church of God, exclaim, “Someday this Church will touch America and the world.” How prophetic! In this centennial edition of Azusa Street and Beyond, Grant McClung and others clearly demonstrate the truth of these words as the whole Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement continues its global missionary expansion. The Church of God is privileged to be an integral part of this movement since its very beginnings. Orville Hagan Assistant General Overseer Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) www.churchofgod.cc Azusa Street and Beyond by Grant McClung in its revised edition will continue to be a standard text among Pentecostals as we move further into a new century. Dr. McClung carefully researched the move of the Holy Spirit in modern times and now freshly articulates his discoveries and projects a brilliant future. Reverend Timothy M. Hill Secretary General Church of God International www.churchofgod.cc The seeds of world harvest were implanted within the Pentecostal movement that was birthed in 1906 in the Azusa Street Revival. Like a divine atom, the explosions are still affecting people for the positive … so the fallout from that major explosion has been and is going all over the world. Dr. Grant McClung does an excellent work in the completion of those who have experienced this divine phenomenon of the 21st Century. Fred S. Fisher, Sr. General Overseer The Church of God of Prophecy I have been blessed by this book ever since seminary days. I have used it often, quoted from it, and am still blessed, stirred and encouraged by its inspiring contents. I will look forward to reading the new update and to promoting it in every way possible. Randy Howard Global Outreach Ministries Church of God of Prophecy Azusa Street and Beyond was the very first book I read concerning the impact of Pentecost after the Azusa Street revival. McClung was able to assemble an excellent collection that helps the reader to grasp the strategic work of the Holy Spirit in different locations of the world. That’s what makes this volume very important precisely at this moment, a century later after the Azusa Street revival. Miguel Alvarez Vice-President, Asian Center for Missions Adjunct Professor of Intercultural Studies at Regent University As we observe the centennial of the great Azusa Street revival, it is my belief that there will be a great deal of interest in any quality book on the revival and its legacy from a variety of different perspectives. This is certainly true of the field of missiology as any other—perhaps more so because the Pentecostal movement is clearly one of the most significant mission movements in the history of Christianity. As the Executive Secretary of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, I am responsible for alerting our membership of all publications through our semiannual newsletter. Additionally this newsletter is posted on our website. We will certainly call attention to a revised version of Azusa Street and Beyond. David G. Roebuck Director, Dixon Pentecostal Research Center Executive Secretary, Society for Pentecostal Studies www.sps-usa.org Azusa Street and Beyond (revised and updated) provides an inspiring insight

    Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals

    EVANGELICAL REVIVALS IN NEW ZEALAND -----//----- A History of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals. -----//----- by Robert Evans and Roy McKenzie. -----//----- Published by the Authors, in conjunction with ColCom Press. PREFACE Many years of experience in the Lord's work, and the relative ease of retirement from parish responsibilities, have provided both of us with the time to carry out a work of love in presenting to the public this history of evangelical revivals in New Zealand. It is an aspect of the work of God which we believe is of enormous importance, both for church and for society, but which has been widely neglected for many years. The research for this book has relied, in the first instance, upon our privately-owned library resources. The main public libraries to which we are indebted are the New South Wales Uniting Church Archives Library and the Camden Library of the United Theological College, both in North Parramatta, the Hewitson Library of the Knox Theological Hall in Dunedin, the John Deane Memorial Library of the Bible College of New Zealand in Auckland (formerly The New Zealand Bible Training Institute), the Moore College Library (Anglican) in Sydney, and the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. We also acknowledge the help of Miss Ferne Weimer, Director of the Billy Graham Center Library, in Wheaton, Illinois. We have also been indebted to many individuals. Chief amongst these have been the Rev. Dr. J. Graham Miller, now living in Wangaratta, Victoria, Dr. Brett Knowles of Dunedin, and the Rev. John Thomson, now living in Nelson.

    Giving Room to the Anointing: Carrie Judd Montgomery's Influence On

    chapter 5 Giving Room to the Anointing: Carrie Judd Montgomery’s Influence on Women in Ministry Jennifer A. Miskov Introduction Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) was a leader in her generation who created space to launch many powerful women into ministry. By regularly celebrating and imparting her testimonies to others, she became an early pioneer in the Divine Healing Movement in North America1 as well as played an important role for the Holiness Movement.2 Additionally, Montgomery’s 1 “The Divine Healing Movement roughly spans from 1870 to the early twentieth century. Faith Cure, Faith Healing, and Divine Healing were all used to refer to the same American move- ment of which Carrie was a part.” This movement was birthed out of the Holiness Movement and was ecumenical in nature. For a more in-depth overview of the Divine Healing Move- ment, see Jennifer A. Miskov, Life on Wings: The Forgotten Life and Theology of Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) (Cleveland, tn: cpt Press, 2012), 57–69.

See also Paul Gale Chappell, “The Divine Healing Movement in America” (Ph.D. diss., Drew University, 1983). 2 Some of the themes of the Holiness Movement were absolute surrender, purity, and holi- ness. See Hannah Whitall Smith, The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life (Chicago: F.H. Revell, 1883. Reprint, usa: Kessinger Publishing, n.d.) for one example of Holiness literature. Phoebe Palmer, Charles Cullis and others were advocates and leaders within the Holiness Movement.

    Reflections on Leah Payne's

    AUTHOR MEETS CRITICS: REFLECTIONS ON LEAH PAYNE’S GENDER AND PENTECOSTAL REVIVALISM: MAKING A FEMALE MINISTRY IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY (New York: Palgrave MacMillan, 2015) LINDA M. AMBROSE, CAMILLA BELFON, ERICA B. RAMIREZ, AND LEAH PAYNE LINDA M. AMBROSE: Leah Payne’s book, Gender and Pentecostal Revivalism: Making a Female Ministry in the Early Twentieth Century, is important on a number of levels but as a historian, I would like to begin by setting it in place on the historiographic timeline. For many years now, especially since the second-wave women’s movement of the 1970s, scholars have been engaged in the enterprise of doing Pentecostal women’s history. To date, most of that scholarship has been dominated by what I call “the great woman theory” of history where researchers find women in the Pentecostal past whom they deem exceptional, and worthy of record. With that goal of recovery and celebration in mind, many important untold or forgotten chapters have been added to the annals of Pentecostal scholarship. I am thinking here of the recent important work of fellow SPS scholars like Estrelda Alexander and Amos Yong, Phillips’ Daughters: Women in Pentecostal-Charismatic Leadership (Wipf and Stock, 2009) and Alexander’s The Women of Azusa Street (Seymour Press, 2012) or Abraham Ruelas, Women and the Landscape of American Higher Education: Wesleyan Holiness and Pentecostal Founders (Wipf and Stock, 2010) and No Room for Doubt: The Life and Ministry of Bebe Patten (Seymour Press, 2012) to name but two scholars among many. Whether such scholarship is written with a tone of celebration and recovery or social justice and equity, it serves the purpose of disrupting the meta-narrative of Pentecostal great men and their often-unnamed helpmates and colleagues.

    Tony Gray, "An Anatomy of Revival,"

    EQ 72:3 (2000),249-270 Tony Gray An Anatomy of Revival Dr Gray is currently Secretary ofthe Religious and Theological Students Fellow­ ship and the TyndaleFellowship Associates. His article lnings some clarity to an area which is easily prone to loose definitions and consequent loose thinking. Key words: Theology; church; revival; Holy Spirit This paper attempts to outline the main elements of a historical and contemporary theology of revival, presenting the issues and challenges raised by such a theology. It then argues that the category of 'revival' may not in fact be specifically helpful to our general understanding of Christian theology. Talk of revival is today common place. Although the force of the 'Toronto Blessing' may now have passed, together with other movements it re-ignited discussions concerning revival, and in particular whether the Toronto phenomena were foretastes of a revival to come. In the light of this, sales of classics on revival have rock­ eted, and once again the possibility that revival is on its way is up for discussion. I. HIstorical perspective It is unnecessary to repeat in detail the histories and events of periods in the church's history which have been labelled as revival. A number are worth mentioning for the importance which they are later given. Most significant perhaps are the First and Second Great Awakenings in the United States. The most well-known and concentrated works on revival come from the pen of Jonathan Edwards.2 The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the spirit of God (1741), Thoughts on the Revival of Religion in New England in 1740 (1742), and A Treatise on Religious Affections (1746) all contributed to Edwards' cyclical view of revival.

    Issue 58: The Rise of Pentecostalism The Rise of Pentecostalism: Did You Know? Little-known or remarkable facts about early Pentecostalism. editors Recently Life magazine, in listing the top 100 events of the second millennium, put Pentecostalism at 68th. The Dictionary of Christianity in America says that Pentecostalism is perhaps "the single- most-significant development in twentieth-century Christianity." Though many consider the 1906 Azusa Street Revival as the birth of modern Pentecostalism, speaking in tongues took place at two earlier Holiness gatherings, one in Topeka, Kansas, in 1901, and another in Cherokee County, North Carolina, in 1896. It is hard to say which is the oldest Pentecostal denomination. The United Holy Church and the Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.) point to pre-Pentecostal roots as far back as 1886. The Pentecostal Holiness Church, with pre-Pentecostal roots as far back as 1879, was the first to adopt a clear Pentecostal statement of faith in 1908. Early Pentecostals claimed the gift of tongues was not primarily the speaking of a heavenly language (glossalalia) but other human languages (xenolalia). The purpose? Early leader Charles Parham said, "I had felt for years that any missionary going to the foreign field should preach in the language of the natives, and that if God ever equipped his ministers in that way [by xenolalia], he could do it today." Though many anecdotes of xenolalia exist, none have been confirmed. Many early Pentecostals were pacifists. At the outbreak of World War I, some Pentecostals called for a "great peace council" at which they could state their opposition to warfare.

ROOT B.A., Bethel College, 2006 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2009 Approved by: Major Professor Robert D. Linder Copyright JONATHAN B. ROOT 2009 Abstract This thesis examines early Pentecostalism in light of the Populist Movement. There are two main arguments in this study. First, I maintain that early Kansas Pentecostalism, as seen in the teachings of Charles Fox Parham, was heavily influenced by Populist ideas and language. Parham displayed Populist tendencies in his attacks on the Protestant Establishment, which he believed had neglected to care for the spiritual and physical needs of “the people.” This failure on the part of the churches led Parham to believe that a major reform of the church was needed. Parham went beyond simply criticizing the establishment. He also developed a popular theology that empowered individuals, many of whom were poor and working-class, and created a strong sense of collective aspiration. The second argument of this study is that Populism fostered a sociopolitical environment in which Pentecostalism could thrive. Parham’s confrontations with the Protestant Establishment and his concern with the needs of “the people” was attractive to many individuals who tended to support movements that sought to disrupt the status quo. One event that can shed light on early Kansas Pentecostalism’s relationship with Populism was a revival in Galena, Kansas, a lead and zinc mining town in the southeast corner of the state, that took place from October 1903 to January 1904.
