This is open access under a CC BY 4.0 licenseThe history of Charismatic Christianity in the
Nordic countries reaches as far back as Pentecostalism itself. The bounds of these categories
remain a topic of discussion but Nordic countries have played a vital role in developing this
rapidly spreading form of world-wide Christianity. Until now research on global Charismatic
Christianity has largely overlooked the region. This book addresses and analyzes its historical
and contemporary trajectories in Finland Norway and Sweden. Through a selection of cases
written by Nordic scholars from various disciplines it demonstrates historical and
contemporary diversity as well as interconnections between local national and global
currents. Highlighting change and continuity the anthology reveals new aspects of Charismatic
Christianity.
