A 2006 Pew Research Center resource page summarizing the organization's survey work on global Pentecostalism. It states that at least a quarter of the world's two billion Christians are thought to belong to Pentecostal and related charismatic renewalist movements, and describes Pentecostalism as one of the most influential developments in global Christianity across the twentieth century, with its greatest growth in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Major nonpartisan research organization, tier 1, matching the tier already used for this atlas's other Pew Research citations. Its own figure is a "quarter of the world's Christians" estimate as of 2006, not a year-by-year count, and this atlas carries it exactly that way.
Notes
Used for the scale of global Pentecostal and charismatic growth by the mid-2000s, understood as the culmination of a twentieth-century expansion.
