Worship, Ritual, and Pentecostal Spirituality-as-Theology
Author: Martina Björkander
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004682430
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
Vibrant worship music is part of the Charismatic liturgy all around the world, and has become in many ways the hallmark of Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity. Despite its centrality, scholarly interest in the theological and ritual significance of worship for pentecostal spirituality has been sparse, not least in Africa. Combining rich theoretical and theological insight with an in-depth case study of worship practices in Nairobi, Kenya, this interdisciplinary study offers a significant contribution to knowledge and is bound to influence scholarly discussions for years to come. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Pentecostal worship, ritual, and spirituality.

The Transformative Materiality of Meaning-Making
Author: David Parkin
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1800411499
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
This book explores verbal and non-verbal communication from a social anthropological viewpoint, drawing on ethnographic data from fieldwork in East Africa. It gives an overview of developments since the 1960s in the anthropology of language use and how these have influenced the author’s thinking. The volume makes the argument that language and other forms of communication involve semiotic transactions between interlocuters; that such communicative exchanges do more than convey information; and that they give identity to the recipients of such transactions who reciprocate by defining speakers. The density and situational totality of such semiotic exchange can moreover be regarded as a kind of materiality, both in terms of their impact on social interaction and in how interlocuters interact bodily as well as verbally among themselves.

Whispers
Author: Kathleen Bush
Publisher: Balboa Press

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
My intention as I began to consider writing my life story was to inspire others who, like me, were not raised with any belief in a deity or religion yet had a faint sense of a power beyond our humanity. I hope to encourage others to persevere and never give up no matter what circumstances you face. If we seek, we shall find. If we ask, we shall be given. If we knock, the door will be opened. I had to travel a long way to learn this for myself. God doesn’t promise us an easy ride, for we learn through suffering and find our strength and courage increases. My world as I grew up was not privileged, it was very ordinary, and yet I had many extraordinary adventures and experiences. Read my story for yourself, and maybe you will recognize something of yourself within the pages.
