The core tenets of pentecostal belief--personal salvation, Holy Ghost baptism, divine healing, and anticipation of the Lord's imminent return--took root in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Wacker examines the various aspects of pentecostal culture, including rituals, speaking in tongues, the authority of the Bible, the central role of Jesus in everyday life, the gifts of prophecy and healing, ideas about personal appearance, women's roles, race relations, attitudes toward politics and the government. Tracking the daily lives of pentecostals, and paying close attention to the voices of individual men and women, Wacker is able to identify the reason for the movement's spectacular success: a demonstrated ability to balance idealistic and pragmatic impulses, to adapt distinct religious convictions in order to meet the expectations of modern life. More than twenty million American adults today consider themselves pentecostal. Given the movement's major place in American religious life, the history of its early years--so artfully told here--is of central importance. 606 $aPentecostalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPentecostal churches$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPentecostalism$xHistory 615 0$aPentecostal churches$xHistory 676 $a289.940973 700 $aWacker$b Grant$f1945-$0872743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454573503321 996 $aHeaven below$92172345 997 $aUNINA
