This book considers whether Pentecostalism will remain a vibrant religious force in the land of its birth (the U.S.), and if so, what forms it will take. The contributors represent a variety of disciplinary and methodological approaches in answering these questions, often concluding that U.S. Pentecostalism(s) are in decline but able to reform.

Enlightening. This book raises important questions, some of them uncomfortable. As pointed out in the foreword, answers are not always given to the questions raised. The matter, though, is too important not to be reflected upon.--Jean-Daniel Pluss "Journal Of The European Pentecostal Theological Association, Fall 2009 "
In The Future of Pentecostalism in the United States, Eric Patterson and Edmund Rybarczyk have gathered a stellar cast of scholars to ponder the future of the movement in the nation of its birth. This history in reverse gives Pentecostals a discerning, critical, and prophetic view of the movement as it enters its second century. This valuable book should be required reading for American Pentecostals and Charismatics as well as for Christians of all traditions who wish to understand this vast and complex movement.--Vinson Synan, Regent University
This book deserves the time and attention of both insiders and outsiders because of the demonstrated intellectual honesty of the contributors. It offers fresh proposals and gathers in one volume some ideas that were previously shared in miscellaneous documents. The focus on the future makes this work unique, and scholars, ministers, and lay leaders will benefit from reading it.--David Michel, Chicago Theological Seminary "H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online "
Regardless of where one standes on these issues, this volume by Patterson and Rybarczyk has given American Pentecostals some important glimpses into the future.--Pneuma 30
Eric Patterson is assistant professor of political science at Vanguard University of Southern California. Edmund Rybarczyk is assistant professor of systematic theology at Vanguard University of Southern California.
