I think that somewhere inside this book was a semi-coherent narrative of the foundations, history, and primary characters of the Pentecostal movement, but that was buried underneath an agonizingly dull listing of every scrap of information that the author compiled during his research. It felt like the author had picked up the "Pentecostal White Pages" and worked his way through it without much regard for tying the stories together in a meaningful way.

All this to say: there are toooooons of show more names and dates in this book, and they start to become meaningless pretty quickly. Sometimes we have to kill our darlings, even if that means we can't include every scrap of information to be found about Aimee Semple McPherson.

(I may also be biased because I resent being forced to take a course on Pentecostal doctrine. Humbug.)
