Brill's Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism

A new encyclopedia is in process with plans for publication in 2020. 

In the spring of 2018 the list of headwords will be available for contributors to write on some aspect of global Pentecostalism. 

SCOPE

Brill’s Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism (BEGP) will provide a comprehensive overview of worldwide Pentecostalism from a range of disciplinary perspectives. It will offer analysis at the level of specific countries and regions, historical figures, movements and organizations, and particular topics and themes.

Pentecostal Studies draws upon areas of research such as anthropology, biblical studies, economics, gender studies, global studies, history, political science, sociology, theological studies, and other areas of related interest. The BEGP will emphasize this multi-disciplinary approach and include scholarship from a range of disciplines, methods, and theoretical perspectives.

Moreover, the BEGP will be cross-cultural and transnational, including contributors from around the world to represent key insights to Pentecostal Studies from a range of countries and regions.

Providing summaries of the key literature, the BEGP will be the standard reference for Pentecostal Studies. All articles will be organized alphabetically with bibliographic information on scholarly work and directions for further reading.

The implications of these social changes for religion include increased cultural and religious pluralism, interactive media and religious participation, and declining loyalties to organizations like denominations.

Pentecostals and the Body: Call for Papers

  ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION Volume 8: Pentecostals and the Body Forthcoming 2017 Edited by:  Michael Wilkinson (Trinity Western University, Canada) and Peter Althouse (Southeastern University, USA) The body is an important area of research in sociology as well as across a number of disciplines including religion. The intersection of religion, sexuality, gender studies, queer studies, disability studies, health and illness, pain, death and dying, emotions, and embodiment, or more specifically the social and cultural meanings of the body are especially insightful. While literature on embodiment continues to expand, to date, there is no sustained examination of Pentecostalism and the themes associated with research on the body. And yet, Pentecostals offer some very interesting observations about religion, religious experience, religious embodiment, healing, sexuality and notions of control, holiness, and celebration.
