Charles Edwin Jones, whose bibliographical study of the Holiness move-
ment has been used widely, now has provided an indispensable tool for
students of pentecostalism. T h e two volumes are not an exhaustive list of
books and articles by and about pentecostals, and they particularly do not
include the vast non-English literature of the movement. But the author has
uncovered a remarkable number of titles, many of them obscure and rare.
Defining "pentecostal" as groups which emphasize speaking in tongues
and divine healing, Jones cataloged their literature in four parts. Part one is a
subject catalog of books and articles and generally includes a citation of a
library where the material may be located. Part two is an extremely valuable
listing of the literature about the pentecostal churches and associations,
divided into the "Wesleyan-Arminian Tradition" and the "Baptistic T r a d i -
tion." Part three is a brief listing of pentecostal schools, with some historical
information about each. Part four is a biographical section which lists both
pentecostal authors and those who have written about the movement. In
addition, Jones tells where further information may be found on each person,
giving page references to about 250 standard works. Volume two includes a
useful index.
T h e collecting of pentecostal materials is still in an early stage. But Jones
has done an admirable job of showing the richness of the lode and of dividing
his collection into sensible historical categories. Serious students of pentecos-
talism will refer frequently to these volumes.

Individualism and Social Ethics: An Evangelical Syncretism. By DENNIS P.

HOLLINGER. Washington, D.C.: University Press of America, 1983. vi +
277 pp. $24.25 cloth; $12.50 paper.
This published dissertation analyzes the way Christianity Today (CT), the
evangelical bi-weekly, has covered social issues from its founding in 1956 to
1976. CT's dominant stance appears as an individualism characterized by
metaphysical atomism, a denial of organic social relationships, and a belief
that social change occurs mostly through individual decisions. In CT's later
development, a "new breed" of evangelicals with a more communal social
ethic provide a counterpoint to the dominant view. Hollinger provides
interesting details on the magazine's treatment of social theory, social change,
