The success of these religious movements has revealed tensions and resonances between the public and the private, the religious and the cultural, and the local and the global. This volume provides a wide ranging and accessible, as well as ethnographically rich, perspective on what has become a truly global religious trend, one that is challenging conventional analytical categories within the social sciences. This book informs students and seasoned scholars alike about the character of Pentecostalism and evangelicalism not only as they have spread across the globe, but also as they have become global movements. Adopting a broadly anthropological approach, the chapters synthesize the existing literature on Pentecostalism and evangelicalism even as they offer new analyses and critiques. They show how the study of Pentecostalism and evangelicalism provides a fresh way to approach classic anthropological themes; they contest the frequent characterization of these movements as conservative religious, social, and political forces; and they argue that Pentecostalism and evangelicalism are significant not least because they encourage us to reflect on the intersections of politics, materiality, morality and law. Ultimately, the volume leaves us with a clear sense of the cultural and social power, as well as the theoretical significance, of forms of Christianity that we can no longer afford to ignore.Anthropology of religionEvangelicalismPentecostalismSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / GeneralbisacshElectronic books.Anthropology of religion.Evangelicalism.Pentecostalism.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / General.306.67083Simon Coleman1046756Robbins Joel1046757MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910480950203321The Anthropology of Global Pentecostalism and Evangelicalism2473910UNINA
