To Pentecostal History buffs,
I got my first shipment of history books today.

Biography of Seymour, published by Strang (charisma)

"Fire on the Earth" which is a collection of articles from the 'Apostolic Faith' and eyewitness accounts of the Azuza revival

Azuza Street Centenial which Epley recommended to me. Has a lot of great pictures from the early 20th century.
these three were published for the Azuza Centenial.

Then I also bought "100 years of the Holy Spirit" by Vinson Synan. I'm really enjoying this book.

I got a copy of Christianity without the Cross" but I'm waiting for my next airplane ride to read it.


SO, what else should I look for? I'm not trying to go overboard but I'd like to have a nice little collection

Vision of the Disinherited by Robert Mapes Anderson. Excellent, though from a non-Pentecostal perspective. It's out of print and hard to find. I had to keep hitting Amazon.com for a while before I found a used copy for under $20.00. Right now some folks are selling their old copies for as much as $200.00! That's nuts!

But it's a very popular out of print work. You've got to be ready to compete to get a copy at a reasonable price. Unless $200.00 is reasonable to you, LOL. There are some in the $40.00 range too though. I paid 19.99 for my used copy and got it from the Irving Public Library through Amazon.

*** Just got Fields White Unto Harvest by Goff in the mail this evening. Haven't read it yet but it is used by a lot of PPH books as a reference, like Anderson's Vision. Fields focuses on the work of Parham and I was told it was one of the books responsible for bringing Parham's contributions out of the shadows. We'll see.

You have to read "Fudges book". I just received a very cool letter from Thomas Fundges dad James Fudge from New Brunswick, Canada.

He sent me a nice letter of recollections of meeting my dad in 1963.

He was the first Pentecostal minster James Fudge had ever heard.

He sent me 2 picutes of my dad from 1966 from a revival he preached in NB.

It was so cool.

Please let me know what you think of the items you are reading.

I will get copies as well.

God Bless

I suggest you go to
http://www.1stapostolic.org/old_publications.htm
and check out some of those old magazines.
There are copies of the PAJC magazine from the 1930's until the last one that was put out after the merger with the PCI in 1945. There are also some old Pentecostal Heralds there. I noticed some A.D. Urshan articles in some of the old Outlooks.

Christianity without the cross, I asked the publishing house rep. at the ALJC youth convention this year if they carry that book. I was told no. Now that I think about it, I am not surprized.

I understand The book called The History or Dictionary Of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements is pretty good.I might not have the title correct though.

If that is the book I remember looking at a few years ago, then yes it is.

There is a book wrote by a PAW layman called (I think) Roots. It is a great book on the Pentecostal movement from a black perspective I highly recommend it. CP I told you that you would love that Cenitenial book.

The book I picked up by Vinson Synan seems like a real good reference book. I'm enjoying so far. It goes through the Holiness Pentecostal movement to the "Finished Work" movement to the Charsmatic Renewal, you get the point...There are 452 of really good information.

"The Century of the Hoy Spirit" 100 years of Pentecostal and Charismatic Renewal
2001 Vinson Synan

With what you already have, I too recommend "Visions of the Disinherited."

I probably have a hundred or more books on Pentecostal History.

To begin with, I would recommend...

Charles F. Parham's history in book form. It is still in print. Order from Apostolic Faith, Baxter Kansas.

Then I would read "John Alexander Dowie" by Gordon Lindsay, Christ For The Nations, Dallas, Texas. In fact, I am going to be meeting with some of them next week.

After that, read: "Out of Zion." Gordon P. Gardnier

Then, Azisa Stree by

From there, I would read: Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, almost a thousand pages.

Winds of God, is a good one. Probably can get it from PPH.

Early Pentecostal Revival by James Tyson

United We Stand by A. Clanton

What Meaneth This by Carl Brumbach

Pentecostalism by John Thomas Nichol

20th Century Pentecostals by Fred Foster

The New Charismatics by Richard Quebedeaux

The Flame Still Burns by T.F. Tenny

You might also want to read History of the Christian Church by Marvin Arnold..now a deceased Apostolic.

On and on. Too many to even recount right now. There have been a lot of books written on Pentecostal/Apostolic/Charismatic revivals. You should have no trouble staying busy reading on a thousand flights.

In the book I got that is authored by Synan he has a good chapter devoted to the healing evangelists, which intrests me. Braham, Roberts, Allan, Schambach...it's really good. He references other books concerning the healing revival, i'm going to look for one or two of those.

Well, Apprehended, you are certainly much better read than I am on the subject of Pentecostal history. I haven't even heard of some of those books you mentioned.

I posted before I corrected one entry. It should have ready, "Azusa Street by Frank Bartleman.

I probably have more than a hundred books that deal with the history of Pentecost.

I also have a copy of the original Azusa Street paper published by Florence Crawford before she became disenchanted with Wm Seymour and moved her publishing business to Washinton state.

I also have every ORIGINAL copy of the paper published by Stone Church in Chicago between 1907 to 1911.

I have given away many original copies of Miracle Magazine, The Voice of Healing, Pentecostal Herald, Herald of Healing and others.
