Even non-Pentecostal authors such as Decker recognize, “no movement has made more of an impact on the church world than Pentecostalism.” 1 Even though Pentecostal growth is a global phenomenon, Pentecostalism has particularly impacted Latin America. According to Moreno, “nearly 40 percent of the world’s Pentecostals live in Latin America.” 2 This fact makes Latin American Pentecostalism an excellent case study for probing how Pentecostal beliefs have been integrated with local cultural dimensions to produce a socio-cultural and spiritual phenomenon without precedents."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderPentecostalLeadershipChurchLatin Americasocial-religiousChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticPractical theology and theological educationMinisterial and pastoral trainingArticle
