What is it about?
This chapter discusses the pre-Pentecostal era in Egypt (1899-1906) and the Wesleyan Holiness/Pentecostal-Like movements during the first half of the twentieth century through the examination of the emergence and development of the Egyptian Holiness Movement Church (EHMC). To set the stage, this chapter first examines the emergence of the radical Holiness Movement Church (HMC) in Canada with respect to its theological and socio-cultural context. It also studies the ecclesiastical and socio-cultural landscape in Egypt during the last decade of the nineteenth century which represented the context of the emergence of the EHMC. Moreover, this chapter focuses on the progress and growth of the EHMC, highlighting the Pentecostal-like characteristics of the Wesleyan/Holiness movement in Egypt that not only prompted the spread of Pentecostalism afterward, but also continued as a Pentecostal-like counterpart to approximately the mid-twentieth century.
