Notes on This Index
Entries were verified against the works themselves, publishers' catalogs (Pentecostal Publishing House, Word Aflame Press, Truth Book Company), and the research library's holdings, which include David K. Bernard's writings and the classic insider histories. Bernard's full corpus runs to more than thirty works; those indexed here are the titles the research has verified.
One correction the research settled: no book titled The Future of Oneness Pentecostalism in the United States exists. The similarly named volume is The Future of Pentecostalism in the United States (2007), and its chapter on the Oneness movement's future — “The Future of Oneness Pentecostalism” — is by David K. Bernard, listed above.
