Description
Summary:This book is a re-evaluation of Poloma's first book on the Assemblies of God published in 1989 as The Assemblies of God at the Crossroads. Poloma has written extensively on Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity, especially through the lens of O'Dea's institutional dilemmas. Her research has focused on the renewal meetings in the 1990s known as the “Toronto Blessing” where she argued that Pentecostals needed to be revived from the problems of institutions. In her first book on the Assemblies of God, Poloma critically evaluated the various dilemmas especially focusing on the relationship between charisma, Spirit, and a range of issues the denomination and its leadership were facing.
