While many established forms of Christianity have seen significant decline in recent decades, Pentecostals are currently one of the fastest growing religious groups across the world. This book examines the roots, inception, and expansion of Pentecostalism among Italian Americans to demonstrate how Pentecostalism moves so freely through widely varying cultures.The book begins with a survey of the origins and early shaping forces of Italian American Pentecostalism. It charts its birth among immigrants in Chicago as well as the initial expansion fuelled by the convergence of folk-Catholic, Reformed evangelical, and Holiness sources. The book goes on to explain how internal and external pressures demanded structure, leading to the founding of the Christian Church of North America in 1927. Paralleling this development was the emergence of the Italian District of the Assemblies of God, the Assemblee di Dio in Italia (Assemblies of God in Italy), the Canadian Assemblies of God, and formidable denominations in Brazil and Argentina. In the closing chapters, based on analysis of key theological loci and in lieu of contemporary developments, the future prospects of the movement are laid out and assessed.This book provides a purview into the religious lives of an underexamined, but culturally significant group in America. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars of Pentecostalism, Religious Studies and Religious History, as well as Migrations Studies and Cultural Studies in America

Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock
Reimagining Paul’s Views on Women, Marriage, and Ministry

Present-day Evangelicalism represents a microcosm of broader tensions over male and female gender roles, with some denominations carefully delimiting women leadership roles, especially the female pastor, and many others supporting them. The letters attributed to Paul the Apostle contain several divisive passages on the meaning of manhood and womanhood. Dated and dubious readings of these have led some, Christians and non-Christians alike, to conclude that Paul wrote with misogynistic intent. Others quote them to justify Christian patriarchalism. Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock: Reimagining Paul’s Views on Women, Marriage, and Ministry reassesses what Paul said about women, reinterpreting his claims on marriage and ministry leadership in light of his first-century worldview. This book proposes a nuanced theological egalitarian approach with significant implications for renewing twenty-first-century congregations, homes, and society.

This book offers an historical and comparative profile of classical pentecostal movements in Brazil and the United States in view of their migratory beginnings and transnational expansion. Pentecostalism’s inception in the early twentieth century, particularly in its global South permutations, was defined by its grassroots character. In contrast to the top-down, hierarchical structure typical of Western forms of Christianity, the emergence of Latin American Pentecostalism embodied stability from the bottom up—among the common people. While the rise to prominence of the Assemblies of God in Brazil, the Western hemisphere’s largest (non-Catholic) denomination, demanded structure akin to mainline contexts, classical pentecostals such as the Christian Congregation movement cling to their grassroots identity. Comparing the migratory and missional flow of movements with similar European and US roots, this book considers the prospects for classical Brazilian pentecostals with an eyeon the problems of church growth and polity, gender, politics, and ethnic identity.
Bridge-Building Leadership
A Biblical Approach to Human Flourishing Across Ethnoracial, Socioeconomic, and Gender Divides

This book examines the role of leadership in addressing ethno-racial, socio-economic, and gender divisions. Through an analysis of the Apostle Paul’s writings, the authors investigate how leadership can bridge societal divides and facilitate human flourishing, conceptualized within a theistic framework of humanity’s stewardship of God’s creation.Bridge-building leadership, rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ—who through His death on the Cross and His Resurrection built the ultimate bridge between God and humanity—transcends differences of race, class, and gender, fostering relationality and inclusion. The authors propose a relational and cross-cultural model that embraces diversity to counteract division and misuse of power. The goal is to reconcile humanity first to the Creator and, flowing from that restored relationship, to one another, thereby achieving human flourishing.Differentiating bridge-building leadership from other leadership models, this volume employs themes of reconciliation, social justice, and brotherly love to present a framework for overcoming societal differences. It will appeal to researchers and practitioners interested in the application of a Christ-centered model of leadership in contemporary contexts to promote human flourishing.
