Anderson, Allan.

Spreading Fires The Missionary Nature of Early Pentecostalism Allan Anderson - Great Britain Orbis Books 2007 - 312tr. paperback, illustrations 24cm

This book analyses the context, history, theology and praxis of the first Pentecostal missions in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Based largely on primary sources, it explores the social and historical context in which Pentecostalism arose, the revival, holiness and healing movements associated with it in the late nineteenth century, and the influence of colonialism on Pentecostal missions. It traces the stories of Pentecostal missionaries and 'native workers' in Africa, China, India and other parts of Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
