Conservative estimates suggest that a quarter of a billion people are now members of Pentecostal churches, mainly in the developing world. David Martin examines the widely differing forms of Pentecostal religion across the five continents, drawing deeply significant conclusions about the future of Christianity itself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Martin's \u003ci\u003eTongues of Fire\u003c\/i\u003e was a pioneering examination of Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity in Latin America. This book extends the argument of that book and applies it globally. The author looks at the roots of the Pentecostal movement to explain how it crosses cultural boundaries, appealing to people as diverse as the respectable poor in Latin American and Africa, the new middle classes of South East Asia, and minorities in the Andes or Nepal. Martin offers a sensitive and illuminating account of the life-world of Pentecostals which looks at the specificities of history, politics, culture and economics while drawing out a wide-ranging theory and explanation of the secular and the sacred.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePentecostalism: The World Their Parish\u003c\/i\u003e is a major milestone in the work of one of the most respected sociologists of religion writing today.
