PENTECOSTAL RESEARCH 101

The SCU Library Commons has a small collection that was begun by past president Scott Muse in the late 1960's. The "Pentecostal Research Collection" is devoted to Pentecostal Studies relevant to the curriculum of the University. The academic focus of the university is in the areas of pastoral ministry, mission, music, English, and history and the collection will develop to reflect those areas.

At present, it contains general histories of several Pentecostal and Charismatic groups and individuals. Also in place are major works on Pentecostal doctrine, polity, history, and theology. All materials of historic nature have been donated to the IPHC Archives & Records Center (www.pctii.or/arc/archives.html) located near the University in Bethany, Oklahoma.
