In late January 2019, I received an invitation to write an
article on F.F. Bosworth, and a separate one on Gordon Lindsay, for Brill’s
Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism (BEGP). My articles will basically provide an
overview – a short biography -- of the two Pentecostal pioneers.
The BEGP is expected to see publication in 2020,
according to Dr. Michael Wilkinson, who serves as General Editor for the volume. The
Associate Editors are Connie Au of Hong Kong, Jörg Haustein
of London, Todd Johnson of Boston, and Erica Ramirez of Portland.
Wilkinson has noted the “volume will be organized around
countries, movements, biographies, and themes. Contributors will be diverse
from a range of disciplines and various countries around the world.” The
work will be cross-cultural and transnational, he explained.
In terms of the scope of the publication, Wilkinson
provided the following description:
Brill’s Encyclopedia of Global
Pentecostalism (BEGP) will provide a comprehensive overview of
worldwide Pentecostalism from a range of disciplinary perspectives. It will
offer analysis at the level of specific countries and regions, historical
figures, movements and organizations, and particular topics and themes.
Pentecostal Studies draws upon
areas of research such as anthropology, biblical studies, economics, gender
studies, global studies, history, political science, sociology, theological
studies, and other areas of related interest. The BEGP will emphasize this
multi-disciplinary approach and include scholarship from a range of
disciplines, methods, and theoretical perspectives.
Wilkinson suggested this new volume will become the “the standard
reference for Pentecostal Studies.”
I must say that I am not only pleased, but really excited
about this opportunity to make a contribution to this important work in
Pentecostalism. It is also an honor to be in good company with so many highly
regarded historians and scholars.
