This book on Egyptian Pentecostalism is considered the first integrated monograph on the topic. It invites scholars and students of Religions, Renewal Studies, and Pentecostalism around the world to discover a new arena of research. Due to the sociocultural perspective of this study on Pentecostalism in Egypt, the book also invites sociologists and scholars who study sociocultural and religious context of the Middle East and North Africa to add new trajectories to their studies. No doubt that this study reveals what was concealed for decades regarding movements and revivals that broke out in Egyptian cities and villages! A must-read!

In his Egyptian Pentecostalism, Tharwat Adly has written what surely will be the definitive work on Egyptian Pentecostalism, a subject that has been long overlooked. This book is thoroughly researched, documented and above all well-written. Thank you Dr. Tharwat for this very valuable book. - Vinson Synan, Oral Roberts University
The first study of its kind, Tharwat's in-depth examination of the Pentecostal movement in Egypt sets a high standard for the historiography of Egyptian Pentecostalism. Through a meticulous investigation of Arabic and English sources, Tharwat anchors the emergence of Pentecostalism in late 19th-century Wesleyan Holiness soil and shows how international networks of indigenous and missionary men and women facilitated its growth. This study will become the standard for all future research on Egyptian Pentecostalism. - Dale M. Coulter, Pentecostal Theological Seminary
Tharwat Maher Nagib’s historiographical and theological analysis of Pentecostalism in Egypt fills a notable gap in scholarly research on Pentecostalism in Egypt and the Arab world. Employing a five-paradigm narrative methodology, Tharwat opens new vistas of insight into the resonance of the Egyptian socio-cultural context with the essential dynamics of Pentecostalism, including supernaturalism, tension with modernization, honoring of women, house church model, and democratization of power. Casting a larger net, Tharwat claims that the contextual theologies of Pentecostal and charismatic movements in Egypt impacted other Christian communities in the Middle East. Serious consideration should be given to replicating the methodology of this study to research on Pentecostalism in other regions in the Arab world. - Eric Newberg, Oral Roberts University
I cannot say enough about the importance of this book. The scholarly research is comprehensive and the methodology exquisite. A large part of its value is that it’s the first history of Pentecostalism in Egypt written by an Egyptian (and committed Pentecostal pastor), who discovered and analyzed sources in Arabic that had not yet been uncovered. A further value is that it reveals to us a large part of our own story and connects us with family we haven’t known. To see the work of my students, like Tharwat, come to fruition has been one of the greatest joys of my years as a scholar and teacher. - Kimberly Erwin Alexander, Regent University
