The publication of World Christian Encyclopedia by David Barrett (1982 and 2001) and his annual updates in International Bulletin of Missionary Research have continually provided a trajectory of the global Christian movement, including Asian Pentecostal churches. Also in the last decade or so, studies on Asian Pentecostalism have progressed remarkably. The launching of the Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies signaled serious academic reflection among Asian Pentecostals, and the publication of its supplement series is another important development in Asian Pentecostal studies. The formation of the Asian Pentecostal Society in 1998 was another important step towards networking among emerging Asian Pentecostal minds."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderPentecostalworshipAsiatheologicalsociologicalCommunity ethicsIntercultural and contextual theologiesChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticPractical theology and theological educationArticle
