Pentecostal History Book

[Steve Epley]

There is a book wrote by a PAW layman called (I think) Roots. It is a great book on the Pentecostal movement from a black perspective I highly recommend it. CP I told you that you would love that Cenitenial book.

The book I picked up by Vinson Synan seems like a real good reference book. I'm enjoying so far. It goes through the Holiness Pentecostal movement to the "Finished Work" movement to the Charsmatic Renewal, you get the point...There are 452 of really good information.

"The Century of the Hoy Spirit" 100 years of Pentecostal and Charismatic Renewal
2001 Vinson Synan

Biography of Seymour, published by Strang (charisma)

"Fire on the Earth" which is a collection of articles from the 'Apostolic Faith' and eyewitness accounts of the Azuza revival

Azuza Street Centenial which Epley recommended to me. Has a lot of great pictures from the early 20th century.
these three were published for the Azuza Centenial.

Then I also bought "100 years of the Holy Spirit" by Vinson Synan. I'm really enjoying this book.

I got a copy of Christianity without the Cross" but I'm waiting for my next airplane ride to read it.


SO, what else should I look for? I'm not trying to go overboard but I'd like to have a nice little collection

With what you already have, I too recommend "Visions of the Disinherited."

I probably have a hundred or more books on Pentecostal History.

To begin with, I would recommend...

Charles F. Parham's history in book form. It is still in print. Order from Apostolic Faith, Baxter Kansas.

Then I would read "John Alexander Dowie" by Gordon Lindsay, Christ For The Nations, Dallas, Texas. In fact, I am going to be meeting with some of them next week.

After that, read: "Out of Zion." Gordon P. Gardnier

Then, Azisa Stree by

From there, I would read: Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, almost a thousand pages.

Winds of God, is a good one. Probably can get it from PPH.

Early Pentecostal Revival by James Tyson

United We Stand by A. Clanton

What Meaneth This by Carl Brumbach

Pentecostalism by John Thomas Nichol

20th Century Pentecostals by Fred Foster

The New Charismatics by Richard Quebedeaux

The Flame Still Burns by T.F. Tenny

You might also want to read History of the Christian Church by Marvin Arnold..now a deceased Apostolic.

On and on. Too many to even recount right now. There have been a lot of books written on Pentecostal/Apostolic/Charismatic revivals. You should have no trouble staying busy reading on a thousand flights.

In the book I got that is authored by Synan he has a good chapter devoted to the healing evangelists, which intrests me. Braham, Roberts, Allan, Schambach...it's really good. He references other books concerning the healing revival, i'm going to look for one or two of those.

Well, Apprehended, you are certainly much better read than I am on the subject of Pentecostal history. I haven't even heard of some of those books you mentioned.

I posted before I corrected one entry. It should have ready, "Azusa Street by Frank Bartleman.

I probably have more than a hundred books that deal with the history of Pentecost.

I also have a copy of the original Azusa Street paper published by Florence Crawford before she became disenchanted with Wm Seymour and moved her publishing business to Washinton state.

I also have every ORIGINAL copy of the paper published by Stone Church in Chicago between 1907 to 1911.

I have given away many original copies of Miracle Magazine, The Voice of Healing, Pentecostal Herald, Herald of Healing and others.
