Critical Condition --Notes --Archives Consulted --Selected Bibliography --IndexSpirits of Protestantism reveals how liberal Protestants went from being early-twentieth-century medical missionaries seeking to convert others through science and scripture, to becoming vocal critics of missionary arrogance who experimented with non-western healing modes such as Yoga and Reiki. Drawing on archival and ethnographic sources, Pamela E. Klassen shows how and why the very notion of healing within North America has been infused with a Protestant "supernatural liberalism." In the course of coming to their changing vision of healing, liberal Protestants became pioneers three times over: in the struggle against the cultural and medical pathologizing of homosexuality; in the critique of Christian missionary triumphalism; and in the diffusion of an ever-more ubiquitous anthropology of "body, mind, and spirit." At a time when the political and anthropological significance of Christianity is being hotly debated, Spirits of Protestantism forcefully argues for a reconsideration of the historical legacies and cultural effects of liberal Protestantism, even for the anthropology of religion itself.The Anthropology of ChristianityHealing - Religious aspects - Protestant churchesHealing -- Religious aspects -- Protestant churchesLiberalism (Religion) - North America - HistoryLiberalism (Religion) -- North America -- HistoryProtestant churches - North America - HistoryProtestant churches -- North America -- HistoryProtestantism - North America - HistoryProtestantism -- North America -- HistoryHealingReligious aspectsProtestant churchesNorth AmericaProtestantismHistoryNorth AmericaProtestant churchesHistoryNorth AmericaLiberalism (Religion)HistoryComplementary TherapiesChristianityTherapeuticsReligionHumanitiesFaith HealingSpiritual TherapiesProtestantismReligionHILCCPhilosophy & ReligionHILCCChristianityHILCC20th century anthropology.20th century christianity.20th century protestants.anthropology and christianity.canada and religion.christian history.christian missionary.christian salvation theory.christian students.christianity and protestants.ethnography and religion.liberal christianity.liberal protestantism.liberal protestants.medical missionaries.medicine and christianity.medicine and religion.religious history.religious studies students.science and religion.secularism and religion.Healing - Religious aspects - Protestant churches.Healing -- Religious aspects -- Protestant churches.Liberalism (Religion) - North America - History.Liberalism (Religion) -- North America -- History.Protestant churches - North America - History.Protestant churches -- North America -- History.Protestantism - North America - History.Protestantism -- North America -- History.HealingReligious aspectsProtestant churchesProtestantismHistoryProtestant churchesHistoryLiberalism (Religion)HistoryComplementary TherapiesChristianityTherapeuticsReligionHumanitiesFaith HealingSpiritual TherapiesProtestantismReligionPhilosophy & ReligionChristianity234.131Klassen Pamela E(Pamela Edith),1967-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1499911DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910781498703321Spirits of Protestantism3792179UNINA
