Spirits Of Globalization

$45.00

Spirits of Globalization provides a contemporary, trans-cultural and inter-disciplinary attempt to answer questions about the connection between the forces that drive globalisation and the phenomenal growth of Pentecostalism. It looks at links between the liberation movement and the Pentecostal movement, asks questions about the implications of the Pentecostalization of religion in the global age, is the growth of Pentecostalism a form of adaptation or resistance to post-modern capitalism? Does it represent recourse to the firm and rigid religiosity of pre-modernity, or rather a leap of faith into the fragmented post-modern conditions in the poor mega-cities of the globe?

The book doesn’t merely raise the issues for discussion but attempts to provide answers. Taking the seminal work of Harvey Cox on Pentecostalism as a starting point, theologians and sociologists of religion from four continents discern the ‘spirit of globalization’ 100 years after Max Weber wrote his groundbreaking analysis on the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism.
