Beskrivning
The full significance of Cecil Henry Polhill (1860-1938), the wealthy squire of Howbury Hall, is known to few, yet he was one of the founding fathers of the Pentecostal-Charismatic tradition in Britain, and his impact and legacy stretch far beyond British shores to North America, the Far East and elsewhere. In Cecil Polhill: Missionary, Gentleman and Revivalist John Usher comprehensively connects Polhill's early life and former experiences as an Evangelical Anglican missionary in China, a member of the Cambridge Seven, with his time as a pioneer of early Pentecostalism, and in doing so reveals a much more richly contoured and multifaceted picture of the development of early Pentecostalism than previously achieved.

"Usher’s book has left few bibliographic stones unturned. The scope of the research is amazing... Usher, the editors of Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, and Brill are to be thanked for producing what will long be a crucial standard work for the study of UK Pentecostalism, Pentecostal mission, and more generally of global Pentecostalism." - David Bundy, Manchester, UK, in: Journal of the European Pentecostal Theological Association (2022).“It is extremely rare to find, among those who have written on early Pentecostal figures, many who have taken the time to work in such detail and it may be the first such study that I have found on a British figure. It is first rate.” – Cecil M. Robeck, Jr., Professor Church History and Ecumenics, Fuller Seminary.“Undoubtedly highly original and a significant contribution to knowledge…some truly excellent archival research underpinning the writing….” – Andrew Davies, University of Birmingham.
