Abstract
Since in this essay I make the word Pentecostal do a lot of work, I too think it is only fair to pay it extra. I use the term to refer to a religious movement that emerged from the vast and amorphous radical evangelical subculture in the United States in the sunset years of the nineteenth century. Like other radical evangelicals, Pentecostals fervently anticipated the Lord’s imminent return, affirmed the miraculous healing of the body, and believed that the conversion experience should lead to another life-transforming event known as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Unlike other radical evangelicals, however, Pentecostals also insisted that the baptism experience always manifested itself by speaking in ‘unknown tongues’.
