Publisher's Synopsis
"" Suddenly, From Heaven: A History Of The Assemblies Of God"" by Carl Brumback is a comprehensive account of the origins and development of the Assemblies of God, a Pentecostal denomination that emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. The book traces the movement's roots in the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 and the subsequent spread of Pentecostalism across the country. Brumback examines the key figures and events that shaped the Assemblies of God, including the establishment of its organizational structure, its missionary efforts, and its engagement with social and political issues. The book also explores the challenges and controversies that the denomination has faced over the years, such as debates over the role of women in ministry and the tension between charismatic and institutional forms of leadership. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and personal interviews, ""Suddenly, From Heaven"" offers a detailed and engaging history of one of the most influential religious movements of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
