Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Healing
Brown, Candy Gunther (Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN)
Divine healing is the essential marker of the global phenomenon of Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity. But although we know that healing is central in these movements, we know surprisingly little about how divine healing beliefs and practices reflect the interplay of local and global patterns of cultural development. The essays in this collection seek to discover what is the same and what is different about such beliefs and practices in diverse contexts, traceformal and informal lines of cultural influence across geographic and national boundaries, and ask how healing both reflects and contributes to larger processes of globalization.
