Using the rich qualitative and quantitative data gathered through participant observation, personal interviews, and surveys conducted within these congregations, Adam Stewart provides the first book-length study focusing on the specific characteristics of Canadian Pentecostal identity, belief, and practice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stewart asserts that Pentecostalism remains an important tradition in the Canadian religious landscape - contrary to the assumptions of many Canadian sociologists and scholars of religion. Recent decreases in Canadian Pentecostal affiliation recorded by Statistics Canada are not the result of Pentecostals abandoning their congregations; rather, they are indicative of a radical transformation from traditionally Pentecostal to generically evangelical modes of religious identity, belief, and practice that are changing the ways that Pentecostals understand and explain their religious identities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The case study presented in this book suggests that a new breed of Canadian Pentecostals are emerging for whom traditional definitions and expressions of Pentecostalism are much less important than religious autonomy and individualism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe New Canadian Pentecostals\u003c\/i\u003e by Adam Stewart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Canadian Decline of the World's Fastest Growing Religion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Transformation of Pentecostalism in Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethodology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutline of the Chapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: The Pentecostal Tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefining Pentecostalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePentecostal Beginnings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional Canadian Pentecostal Identity, Belief, and Practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: The Churches and Their Pastors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom in Christ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElmira Pentecostal Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Generically Evangelical Religious Identity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric Evangelicalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional Denominational Identifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatent Denominational Identifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNondenominational Identifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Spirit Baptism and Speaking in Tongues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgnorance and Confusion Regarding Spirit Baptism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirity Baptism and the Question of Subsequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaking in Tongues as Evidence of Spirit Baptism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Purpose of Spirit Baptism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: Healing, Miracles, and other Supernatual Phenomena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivine Healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiracles \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngels, Demons, and Exorcism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 7: Conclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53190349914455,"sku":"9781771121408","price":27.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-new-canadian-pentecostals-9781771121408","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
