African-American Holiness Pentecostal Movement: An Annotated Bibliography / Edition 1

by Sherry S. DuPree

Overview

First Published in 1996. Those of us who aspire to know about the black church in the African-American experience are never satisfied. We know so much more about the Christian and church life of black Americans than we did even a dozen years ago, but all the recent discoveries whet our insatiable appetites to know it all. That goal will never be attained, of course, but there do remain many conquerable worlds. Sherry Sherrod DuPree set her mind to conquering one of those worlds. She has persisted, with the results detailed here. A huge number of items are available to inform us about Holiness, Pentecostal, and Charismatic congregations and organizations in the African-American Christian community.
