Amidst postwar efforts at democratization, multinational mega-churches have conquered street corners and kitchen tables, guiding the faithful to build a sanctified city brick by brick. Drawing on rich interviews and extensive fieldwork, Kevin Lewis O'Neill tracks the culture and politics of one such church, looking at how neo-Pentecostal Christian practices have become acts of citizenship in a new, politically relevant era for Protestantism. Focusing on everyday practices--praying for Guatemala, speaking in tongues for the soul of the nation, organizing prayer campaigns to combat unprecedented levels of crime--O'Neill finds that Christian citizenship has re-politicized the faithful as they struggle to understand what it means to be a believer in a desperately violent Central American city. Innovative, imaginative, conceptually rich, City of God reaches across disciplinary borders as it illuminates the highly charged, evolving relationship between religion, democracy, and the state in Latin America. 410 0$aAnthropology of Christianity ;$v7. 606 $aEvangelistic work$zGuatemala$zGuatemala 606 $aEvangelistic work$xPentecostal churches 606 $aPentecostal churches$xMissions$zGuatemala$zGuatemala 606 $aChristianity and politics$zGuatemala$zGuatemala 607 $aGuatemala (Guatemala)$xReligion 610 $abelief system. 610 $acentral america. 610 $achristian charity. 610 $achristian citizenship. 610 $achristian soldier. 610 $achristianity. 610 $achristians. 610 $acitizenship. 610 $acounterinsurgency. 610 $acrime. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $adiaspora. 610 $agod and religion. 610 $agovernment and government. 610 $aguatemala city. 610 $aguatemala. 610 $aguatemalan culture. 610 $alatin american culture. 610 $amega churches. 610 $aneo pentecostal christian practices. 610 $apolitical studies. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apostwar. 610 $aprayer campaigns. 610 $aprayer. 610 $aprotestantism. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $aspiritual warfare. 610 $atransnational studies. 615 0$aEvangelistic work 615 0$aEvangelistic work$xPentecostal churches. 615 0$aPentecostal churches$xMissions 615 0$aChristianity and politics 676 $a289.9/40972811 700 $aO'Neill$b Kevin Lewis$f1977-$01680674 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826231103321 996 $aCity of God$94124284 997 $aUNINA
