In late January 2019, I received an invitation to write an article on F.F. Bosworth, and a separate one on Gordon Lindsay, for Brill’s Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism (BEGP). My articles will basically provide an overview – a short biography -- of the two Pentecostal pioneers.

The BEGP is expected to see publication in 2020, according to Dr. Michael Wilkinson, who serves as General Editor for the volume. The Associate Editors are Connie Au of Hong Kong, Jörg Haustein of London, Todd Johnson of Boston, and Erica Ramirez of Portland.

Wilkinson has noted the “volume will be organized around countries, movements, biographies, and themes. Contributors will be diverse from a range of disciplines and various countries around the world.” The work will be cross-cultural and transnational, he explained.

In terms of the scope of the publication, Wilkinson provided the following description:

Brill’s Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism (BEGP) will provide a comprehensive overview of worldwide Pentecostalism from a range of disciplinary perspectives. It will offer analysis at the level of specific countries and regions, historical figures, movements and organizations, and particular topics and themes.

Pentecostal Studies draws upon areas of research such as anthropology, biblical studies, economics, gender studies, global studies, history, political science, sociology, theological studies, and other areas of related interest. The BEGP will emphasize this multi-disciplinary approach and include scholarship from a range of disciplines, methods, and theoretical perspectives.

Wilkinson suggested this new volume will become the “the standard reference for Pentecostal Studies.”

I must say that I am not only pleased, but really excited about this opportunity to make a contribution to this important work in Pentecostalism. It is also an honor to be in good company with so many highly regarded historians and scholars.
