For a discussion of song lyrics from an extended treatment of worship based on empirical study, see Steven, Worship. Charismatic worship is located within notions of performance in Mark J. Cartledge, Practical Theology. Charismatic and Empirical Perspectives, Carlisle (Paternoster) 2003. A complex empirical reading of charismatic worship based on ritual studies is developed in Daniel E. Albrecht, Rites in the Spirit.

The global significance of John Wimber is explored in Donald E. Miller, Reinventing American Protestantism. Christianity in the New Millenium, Berkeley (University of California Press) 1997.

The Origins and Early Development of the Charismatic Movement in Great Britain, rev. ed., Carlisle (Paternoster) 1997. The spread of the Wimber-influenced Alpha course is examined in Stephen Hunt, Anyone for Alpha? Evangelism in a Post-Christian Society, London (Darton Longman and Todd) 2001. The link between the spread of contemporary forms of religion and CITs (communication and information technologies) is treated in David Lyon, Jesus in Disneyland. Religion in Postmodern Times, Cambridge (Polity Press) 2000. A similar connection relating the globalisation of charismatic movements to a particular religious negotiation with postmodernity is found in Simon Coleman, The Globalisation of Charismatic Christianity, Cambridge (Cambridge University Press) 2000
