[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Cambridge University Press], This book analyses the revival of charismatic Protestant Christianity as an example of globalisation. Simon Coleman shows that, along with many social movements, these religious conservatives are negotiating their own interpretations of global and postmodern processes. They are constructing an evangelical arena of action and meaning within the liminal, chaotic space of the global. The book examines globalisation not only as a social process, but also as an embodied practice involving forms of language and ritualised movement. Charismatic Christianity is presented through its material culture - art, architecture and consumer products - as well as its rhetoric and theology. The book provides an account of the incorporation of electronic media such as television, videos and the Internet into Christian worship. Issues relating to the conduct of fieldwork in contexts of globalisation are raised in an account which is also the first major ethnography of a Faith ministry. Table of contents: 1. A 'weird Babel of tongues': charisma in the modern world 2. 'Faith which conquers the world': globalization and charisma 3. Sweden: national 'state' and global 'site' 4. The word of life: organizing global culture 5. Words: from narrative to embodiment 6. Aesthetics: from iconography to architecture 7. Broadcasting the faith 8. Expansive agency 9. Contesting the nation 10. The word and the world. Charismatic Christianity is presented through its material culture - art, architecture and consumer products - as well as its rhetoric and theology. This book provides an account of the incorporation of electronic media such as television, videos and the Internet into Christian worship.

This book is about conservative Protestant Christians and their spread around the globe. It focuses on Health and Wealth Christians. A ministry in Scandinavia is shown to be closely linked to evangelicals in other parts of the world, particularly the United States. The book provides the first extended account by an anthropologist of a Health and Wealth ministry. It makes a major contribution to an understanding of the material lives of these Christians: their art, architecture and uses of electronic technologies such as television, videos and the Internet.
