André Gagné, Chrétiens en quête de puissance. Présence globale et politique des pentecôtismes, Labor et Fides, 2026.
A quarter of the world's Christians today adhere to Pentecostalism. This figure could reach 50% by 2075. This rapidly expanding movement is characterized by an ever-increasing desire to engage in the political arena, particularly in connection with the presidency of Donald Trump, who has greatly benefited from it. Following the resounding success of "These Evangelicals Behind Trump," Canadian André Gagné, a former Pentecostal, presents "Christians in Search of Power" at the MIR (International Meeting of Reformed Churches), a fascinating study published by Labor et Fides on Pentecostalism in all its diversity. His book focuses in particular on several significant episodes in this context, from the last American election campaign and the first year of Donald Trump's second term.
André Gagné, a specialist in charismatic movements in the United States, is a full professor and director of the Department of Theological Studies at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada).
