ProQuest Ebook Central. Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity is a global phenomenon that comprises a quarter of the world’s two billion Christians and is growing rapidly. Contrary to popular stereotypes of flamboyant, fraudulent, anti-medical “faith healing” televangelists who preach a materialistic, “health and wealth” gospel, handle serpents, or sensationally “exorcize” demons, this book offers a more nuanced portrait.
