Two phenomena profoundly changed the shape of Christendom in the twentieth century: the rise of secularism in Europe, and the rise of Pentecostalism elsewhere. This book investigates the impact of an emerging secular culture on the early Pentecostal movement, using previously unpublished data to build its case study on Denmark. The first Pentecostals were idealists who sought to influence the existing churches from within, but eventually this approach gave way to the more successful strategy of forming separate Pentecostal churches. The insights found herein apply to all religious minorities who seek to adapt to an inhospitable context.

“Nikolaj Christensen’s historical and sociological account of Pentecostalism in Denmark in its early years is outstanding. It is both different from what is usually written and intriguing, which is one of the strengths of this study.” - Allan H. Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Mission and Pentecostal Studies, University of Birmingham.
"The research work is original, historically solid, theoretically well-framed, in dialogue with the larger theoretical questions in Pentecostal studies currently … and offers the first fine-grained study of history and the reasons of lack of success behind Pentecostalism in Denmark.” - Jonas Adelin Jørgensen, Academic secretary, Council on International Relations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark.
