A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In Fire From Heaven, one of the most widely read theologians of our time explores the fastest-growing form of worship on earth: the vibrant, primal spirituality of Pentecostalism. Harvey Cox documents this extraordinary phenomenon—from its obscure beginning 100 years ago in Los Angeles to its current following of 410 million people worldwide—as he examines what this explosion of spirituality means to all religions.
