Critics Review
Christianity Today ,
Christianity Today, Number 15 on the Top 25 Books of the Year list (1998)
Charisma
“As a historian, Synan offers powerful explanations and conclusions.”
Christian Scholars Review
“An indispensable and highly readable account of the origins and growth of what is clearly the most significant movement in the twentieth-century church … With the growing ‘charismaticization’ of the contemporary church, this book should be of interest to Christians in all academic disciplines.”
Clergy Journal
“A fine historical work that will interest those engaged in the history of the American church… This is a book that makes for fascinating reading and is well worth the investment of time and money.”
Publishers Weekly
“This revision of a book originally published in 1971 incorporates five new chapters and further strengthens Synan’s detailed and highly readable history of the various ‘second-blessing’ movements that form a major branch of Christianity… Synan provides an authoritative, highly documented and nuanced survey of a tradition that continues to thrive worldwide.”
