Endnote 3 – Literalism vs. Everything Else

David Barrett, who computes statistics on world religion, estimates that the number of “Pentecostals/Charismatics” in world Christianity grew from 74,366,000 in 1970 to 429,523,000 in 1993. They are part of “Practicing Christian” growth in the same period from 905,526,000 to 1,259,691,000. See International Bulletin of Missionary Research, January, 1993, p. 23.
