Three Generations on: The Methodology of Pentecostal History

Abstract

I propose to discuss in this paper some of the problems which arise in the writing of Pentecostal history and, in doing so, to relate these to church history generally and to secular history. In addition I also intend to suggest methodological solutions to these problems, though I cannot pretend to have solved all the difficulties which arise and, in some cases, I have done no more than point to most intense areas of most intense intractability.
