"The editors and contributors of Spirit on the Move have successfully attended to this task without fear of troubling the waters of tidy conclusions in favor or against Black women's relation to Pentecostalism. Scholars and Pentecostal practitioners can listen to and be taught by the global women portrayed in the pages of this book." -- Allison Kach Sociology of Religion "Should be widely read by the African Studies community and particularly within the (re-emerging!) field of African Christianity." -- Adam Mohr African Studies Review " Spirit on the Move begins with a clear and provocative introduction in which Elizabeth A. Pritchard details the empirical evidence of Pentecostalism's special appeal to Black women. This volume [is] a most welcome single-volume contribution to Pentecostal studies, gender studies, and race studies." -- Devaka Premawardhana H-Africa, H-Net Reviews "These essays provide a marvelous introductory text to the intersectional study of Black women and Global Pentecostalism. [ Spirit on the Move ] has included Pentecostalism's appeal to Black women across the diaspora and countries on the continent of Africa.

" -- Marcia Clarke Pneuma "This volume comes with powerfully dramatic ideas that speak to a world where Black women's lives often still matter little. Its authors' insights justifying Pentecostalism's inclusion alongside gender discrimination, colonialism, racism, classism, and state failure alone make this book worthy to be read. By privileging the study of Pentecostal Black women's narratives alongside historical global forces, this anthology contributes to Black feminist studies and women and gender studies, especially African/a and Diaspora Pentecostal women's studies." -- Itohan M. Idumwonyi Horizons.
