标题：Review of the New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic MovementsReview of A Church of Fire: The Story of the Assemblies of God of Papua New Guinea
摘要：Christianity in the twentieth century experienced a remarkable resurgence of charismatic spirituality, a dimension of Christian life largely obscured for centuries. This renewal was initially defined as the Pentecostal movement, featuring a cluster of churches and groups that for fifty years was largely shunned by mainstream Christianity. By mid-century, however, the teaching and experience of the Pentecostals began to appear among a broad spectrum of Christian bodies. Previously, people experiencing the Pentecostal "baptism in the Holy Spirit" were regularly driven from the established churches. From the 1950s onward, however, ministers and lay persons reporting a charismatic experience were increasingly accepted in the parent denomination. This "renewal" movement, marking those experiencing Pentecostal phenomena but remaining in their own denominations, was dubbed the "Charismatic Movement." In the 1960s, the renewal spilled over into the Roman Catholic Church, spreading rapidly around the world. At the same time that the charismatic renewal was growing rapidly, the "classical" Pentecostal bodies continued to experience phenomenal growth, especially in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Few, if any, Christian movements in the twentieth century reached the breadth of impact of the Pentecostal/Charismatic renewal. By the year 2000, after just one century, this dimension of Christianity had been estimated to reach about 795 million believers (p.300).
