Originally consisting of a number of independent churches that emerged in the Holiness, revivalist, and evangelical missionary movements, it has since reached into mainline Protestantism and the Roman Catholic Church through the Charismatic movement. Criteria for defining Pentecostalism and accurate statistics of its membership are very difficult to determine. It has grown particularly in the global South and is a major expression of Christianity worldwide. Citing Literature The Wiley Blackwell Companion to World Christianity RelatedInformation
