The purpose of this study is to narrate and interpret the historical development of an indigenous Pentecostal movement in India known as the Indian Pentecostal Church of God (IPC). This movement, whose adherents are mostly Dalits, started in 1932 in the state of Andhra Pradesh with the arrival of P.M. Samuel. It was officially registered in 1935 with one small church in the city of Eluru. It has since grown into a mega-national denomination of 4,000 churches, with extensions now operating in the Middle East, North America, and Australia. The significance of this indigenous movement has been overlooked in the historiography of Pentecostalism in not only the West, but also in India. The reasons for this neglect are two-fold. First, the pioneers and early leaders of the IPC failed to capture the history of their denomination because they lacked higher education (both secular and theological) and possessed an anti-intellectual attitude. Second, a culturally motivated bias has long existed in India against the adherents of the IPC, who are predominantly the disenfranchised and marginalized people called "Dalits." This study has addressed the gap existing in the historiography of Pentecostalism in India.

520 $a The purpose of this study is to narrate and interpret the historical development of an indigenous Pentecostal movement in India known as the Indian Pentecostal Church of God (IPC). This movement, whose adherents are mostly Dalits, started in 1932 in the state of Andhra Pradesh with the arrival of P.M. Samuel. It was officially registered in 1935 with one small church in the city of Eluru. It has since grown into a mega-national denomination of 4,000 churches, with extensions now operating in the Middle East, North America, and Australia. The significance of this indigenous movement has been overlooked in the historiography of Pentecostalism in not only the West, but also in India. The reasons for this neglect are two-fold. First, the pioneers and early leaders of the IPC failed to capture the history of their denomination because they lacked higher education (both secular and theological) and possessed an anti-intellectual attitude. Second, a culturally motivated bias has long existed in India against the adherents of the IPC, who are predominantly the disenfranchised and marginalized people called "Dalits." This study has addressed the gap existing in the historiography of Pentecostalism in India.
520 $a The main goal of this dissertation is to provide an organized and comprehensive historical account of the IPC in Andhra Pradesh in one volume that will be easily accessible to those who are interested in indigenous Pentecostal movements in India. This investigation also involved an exploration and documentation of various contributions of the Dalit people pertaining to the origin and expansion of the IPC, as well as the impact of this movement on Indian society.
520 $a This investigation represents a qualitative research study, using a historical research method. The result is a chronological and critical history of the IPC in Andhra Pradesh. Data collection involved the systematic and objective location, evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant primary and secondary sources. Personal interviews were conducted on site with over sixty select individuals in India. The data collected was utilized to establish an inclusive historical picture of the IPC through the process of analyzing and reporting the written sources, along with detailed views of the primary subjects. This study examined existing documentation to determine how the organization was founded and grew into a major Pentecostal indigenous movement.
520 $a Research questions addressed the following: (a) the events that led to the formation of the IPC in Andhra; (b) the major contributors to the origin and development of the IPC in Andhra; (c) the key players in the schism of the IPC; (d) the most significant events that occurred from 1932 to 2010; (e) the main factors that influenced the growth of the IPC; (f) the important factors which led to the division of the IPC; and (g) the impact of the IPC on society.
520 $a The history of the IPC in Andhra is presented in three sections. The first section covers the early history of the IPC (1932 to 1959), beginning with its establishment in 1932. The second section discusses the transition years (1960 to 1981) beginning with the schism in the IPC and the formation of World Missionary Evangelism (WME) and Manna Ministries. The third section addresses the latter period (1982 to 2010) which began with the golden jubilee of the IPC in Andhra Pradesh.
