Given the circumstances described in the previous chapter, pentecostal efforts in higher education had humble beginnings and only developed over time. In this chapter, the author identifies four stages in this gradual development of pentecostal higher education: (1) Bible schools and institutes that focused exclusively on ministerial preparation, (2) accredited and degree-granting Bible colleges, (3) liberal arts colleges that began to offer majors and programs beyond the realm of theology and ministry, and (4) full-fledged universities offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees in a variety of disciplines. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
