Di Bella, “Glossolalia and Possession among Pentecostal groups of the Mezzogiorno”
Excerpt: “This study of the emergence of the new doctrine within a rural environment started at Accadia in Apulia, a centre for Oneness Pentecostalism, and later extended to other villages where this doctrine developed . . . Moreover, a comparison has been drawn with certain Trinitarian Pentecostal groups in the neighbouring Apulian towns of Anzano and Monteleone.

Three distinct phases could be discovered in the process, each marked by resistance to rural local values . . . “
