Sommario/riassunto

This state-of-the-field overview of Pentecostalism around the world focuses on cultural developments among second- and third-generation adherents in regions with large Pentecostal communities, considering the impact of these developments on political participation, citizenship, gender relations, and economic morality. Leading scholars from anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and history present useful



introductions to global issues and country-specific studies drawn from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the former USSR.
