Contribution of the Duncan Sisters to the Pentecostal Movement

Contribution of the Duncan Sisters to the Pentecostal Movement by John Miller is a rich, biographical account filled with original research on the lives of the Duncan sisters, who educated many of the first leaders of the Assemblies of God and the Elim Fellowship. The first research conducted on these sisters, Miller’s work was part of his doctoral thesis. In clear, lucid prose, Miller shows the influences at work in the sisters’ lives, from their involvement in the Holiness and Faith Healing movements to their embrace of the teachings promoted at their Rochester Bible Trainer School. This heritage of learning, suggests Miller, became fully realized when they joined the Pentecostal ministries. These women influenced others and helped to shape the Assemblies of God and Elim Fellowship. Miller’s book is meant to honor and appreciate their contributions.
