Overview

This book on Egyptian Pentecostalism is considered the first integrated monograph on the topic. It invites scholars and students of Religions, Renewal Studies, and Pentecostalism around the world to discover a new arena of research. Due to the sociocultural perspective of this study on Pentecostalism in Egypt, the book also invites sociologists and scholars who study sociocultural and religious context of the Middle East and North Africa to add new trajectories to their studies.

Reviews

In his Egyptian Pentecostalism, Tharwat Adly has written what surely will be the definitive work on Egyptian Pentecostalism, a subject that has been long overlooked. This book is thoroughly researched, documented and above all well-written. Thank you Dr. Tharwat for this very valuable book. - Vinson Synan, Oral Roberts University
