Non mangiate alcun sangue : trattato terzo. Do not eat any blood : third treatise. [tract] [Italian]

Niagara Falls, NY : M. Tosetto, [1930s?]

[8] p. [fold] ; 20 cm.

Massimiliano Tosetto, an Italian-American Pentecostal leader, defends the teaching that that Christians should abstain from eating food containing blood. This belief was held by most Italian and Italian-American Pentecostals of this era. Tosetto responds to the arguments of Giuseppe Petrelli, a prolific author who was the primary leader of the 'freedom party,' the school of thought within Italian-American Pentecostalism that left blood product consumption up to the discretion of believers.

Giuseppe Petrelli (1876-1957) was a lawyer in Italy when he converted to the Baptist faith in 1905. He immigrated to America later that year and in 1906 he became co-pastor of an Italian Baptist church in New York City. He was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1915 and became a prominent Italian-American Pentecostal theologian and writer.
