Pentecostals in America
ARLENE M. SÁNCHEZ WALSH
“Sánchez Walsh explores, describes, and interprets the almost infinitely varied and complex world of American Pentecostalism. The result is an impressionist painting of Pentecostalism in America, beautifully colored and bursting with vivid description and stimulating interpretations, both useful and delightfully interesting to read.” —Paul Harvey, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
Arlene M. Sánchez Walsh provides a thematic overview of Pentecostalism in America. The book covers Pentecostal faith and practices, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, trends and offshoots, and the future of American Pentecostalism, as well as its deep roots in American popular culture, placing it in context within the larger narrative of American religious history. An indispensible introduction to Pentecostalism, rich with insights for experienced readers, Pentecostals in America is an essential study of a vibrant religious movement. ARLENE M. SÁNCHEZ WALSH

The Future of Mainline Protestantism in America
JAMES HUDNUT-BEUMLER AND MARK SILK, EDITORS
“Mainline Protestantism never outgrew its ethnic families of origin, and it suffered a breathtaking fall from 50 percent to 10 percent of the population. Yet it remains a constructive and influential force in American life. This splendid book lucidly, cogently, and judiciously captures both sides of this story and picture, making a valuable contribution.” —Gary Dorrien, Columbia University
In this volume, experts in American religious history and the sociology of religion examine the decline of mainline Protestantism over the past half century and assess its future. The book argues that the mainline Protestant movement will continue to be a vital remnant in a culture torn between the contending forces of secularism and evangelicalism. JAMES HUDNUT-BEUMLER
