This book ... makes a carefully constructed, powerful intervention suggestive of much potential for future scholarship drawing on its principles of approach ... The ideas here will be useful to scholars working on other related fields linked to both Modernism and the Weird, from postmodernism to the New Weird and beyond. In particular, Shapiro and Barnard’s construction of the experience-system of modernity seems useful in reevaluating the relative positions of less centric Modernists, or the concept of Intermodernism in the study and understanding of twentieth-century literature systemically, in the context of cultural fields, such as religion, from which it might otherwise be separated. * American Literary History * The brevity of Pentecostal Modernism belies its density, but not its accessibility. In fact, it is an enjoyable read that is both insightful and well-researched. * Pneuma * As a scholar of Pentecostalism, it was intriguing for me to observe how Shapiro and Bernard’s efforts resituated familiar material in new domains. -- Amos Yong * Christianity and Literature *
