Dust Jacket: Intact and colorful with good original gloss. Shows light edge rubbing and minor shelf wear, protected in a clear archival sleeve.
Hardcover & Binding: The bright orange cloth boards are square, sturdy, and clean. The internal text block is solid and firmly bound to the hinges.
Ex-Library Artifacts: Retains its original church library features, including the physical paper check-out pocket and card glued to the front flyleaf, handwritten author/title notes on the card, and an institutional stamp from Forest Lake Bible Church, Niceville, FL.
Interior: Text pages are crisp, clean, and free of modern ink underlining, highlighting, or margin notes.
Interesting Historical Fact: Before Vinson Synan published this book in 1971, the Holiness and Pentecostal traditions were largely ignored or dismissed by mainstream academic church historians as fringe revival movements. Synan, who grew up as the son of a Pentecostal bishop, wrote this text as his PhD dissertation at the University of Georgia.
It became a historic milestone because it was the very first scholarly, objective academic history ever published on the movement by a major mainstream publishing house (Eerdmans). Today, Synan's pioneering work is credited with opening the doors for modern Pentecostal and Charismatic studies across universities worldwide.
