Description: This is a pioneering study in pentecostal Spirit-baptism as an ecumenical power to transform Christian life and witness. Crowe begins by describing the conditions that changed the Assemblies of God from a grass-roots revival movement into a high-profile, quasi-evangelical denomination. He then discusses the American Catholic charismatic renewal, the largest lay movement of the twentieth century. Crowe argues for Spirit-baptism's power to unite and galvanize such theologically divided pentecostals. He envisions Spirit-baptism as God's gift to unite all Christians. Pentecostal Unity is the result of three years of research that included visits to pentecostal communities throughout the country and interviews with charismatic and pentecostal leaders.
