Divine Callings: Understanding the Call to Ministry in Black Pentecostalism (Paperback)

Divine Callings: Understanding the Call to Ministry in Black Pentecostalism Book Description

Richard N. Pitt draws on over 100 in-depth interviews with Black Pentecostal ministers in the Church of God in Christ--both ordained and licensed and those aspiring--to examine how these men and women experience and pursue "the call." Viewing divine calling as much as a social process as it is a spiritual one, Pitt delves into the personal stories of these individuals to explore their work as active agents in the process of fulfilling their calling.
