Abstract

ABSTRACT This article identifies Walter Hollenweger as the leading scholar of Pentecostal historiography. His contributions to an understanding of Pentecostal history are analyzed primarily through the lens of his signature monographs, The Pentecostals (1971) and Pentecostalism (1997) which bookend his academic career and research on the Pentecostal movements. These publications reveal Hollenweger’s historical sensitivities and the subsequent development of his understanding of the movement. The argument is developed around Hollenweger’s well-known list of the ‘roots’ of Pentecostalism. The author’s personal interactions with Hollenweger are interspersed throughout the article.
