Cecil M. Robeck Jr. teaches at Fuller Theological Seminary, is a frequent interpreter of Pentecostalism in ecumenical meetings and is former editor of Pneuma, the journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies.
As the message of Pentecost spread, it adapted to fit existing cultures. Korean Pentecostals, for instance, frequently climb “prayer mountains” for pre-sunrise prayer services, a reflection of a pre-Christian past.
