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."
