Description
Book SynopsisExamines how popular American religious leaders navigate problems of race and gender in society. This title chronicles the rise of women and African American evangelists in the independent charismatic movement in post-World War II America.
Trade ReviewScott Billingsley does a good job of explaining who people are and how they relate in the modern charismatic movement. The world he describes is richly textured and enormously influential, and the biographical sketches point readers toward an understanding of the origins and development of the movement. - Edith L. Blumhofer, Professor of History and Director of the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals, Wheaton College, Illinois ""It's A New Day not only fills a gap in the historical literature of postwar American religion, it also ably tracks the growth, success, and surprising social outlook of one of the most significant mass-religious movements to emerge in the late 20th century."" - Randall S. Stephens, History Department, Eastern Nazarene College, Quinoy, Massachusetts
