5 Fridays Hybrid In Person and Synchronous Livestream

Analyze the nature and the impact of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. The lectures, while including a section on the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (and other Canadian Pentecostal denominations), examine the global impact of this worldwide movement. The movement is traced as to its scope and variety in both Pentecostal and non-Pentecostal circles and analyzed in terms of the factors related to its widespread acceptance.

For Fall 2023, there will be a particular emphasis on Canadian beginnings of Pentecostalism, which is facilitated by newly published primary source material on the pre-denominational phase.
