What People are Saying About This
“Truls Åkerlund offers a much-needed study of the leadership dynamics implicit in global Pentecostalism. The growth of this worldwide movement has long needed research, beyond the popular level, that utilizes the burgeoning field of leadership studies as the framework within which to investigate the DNA of Pentecostal leadership. Åkerlund has provided a comprehensive and pioneering work that will set the baseline for future research into leadership that serves Pentecostalism’s growth globally during the twenty-first century.”
—Byron D. Klaus, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary
“Åkerlund has provided a fascinating phenomenological study of Pentecostal leadership. He understands leadership theory, but he moves beyond it through interviews to show how Pentecostal leadership is spiritual, contextual, and developing, and he demonstrates that it is important to questions of identity and to mission.”
—Cecil M. Robeck, Jr., Fuller Theological Seminary
“A Phenomenology of Pentecostal Leadership is the first robust research text on Norwegian Pentecostal leadership. The text not only demonstrates Åkerlund’s keen ability to employ contemporary methods of phenomenological research to explore the phenomena of Pentecostal leadership, but also contains a faithful, biblical, and theological description of how Pentecostal leaders lead. This book will benefit anyone who is interested in the study of organizational leadership, and especially those who find themselves in sacred contexts.”
—Corné J. Bekker, Regent University School of Divinity
