The Charismatic Century

A popular history of the Pentecostal and charismatic movements, written by Jack Hayford with S. David Moore and published by Warner Faith in 2006 for the centenary of the Azusa Street revival, with the subtitle The Enduring Impact of the Azusa Street Revival. It starts from the revival William Seymour led at 312 Azusa Street, Los Angeles, in 1906, which the authors treat as the foundation of the century's charismatic renewal, and gives sketches of preachers as varied as R. A. Torrey, Aimee Semple McPherson and Oral Roberts (whom Hayford judges the most influential charismatic preacher of the age), and of movements and churches such as the Vineyard and Calvary Chapel. Moore later wrote Hayford's authorised biography, Pastor Jack.
