Reviews for William J. Seymour and the Origins of Global Pentecostalism: A Biography and Documentary History
“The author convincingly portrays Seymour, an African American with little formal education, at the vital center of Pentecostalism, influencing scores of ministers and missionaries who passed through his mission or read his Apostolic Faith newspaper. . . .
