En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the interplay between charismatic leadership and written texts within contemporary Christianity, particularly focusing on Pentecostal-charismatic practices in Zambia. It challenges the traditional view that 'the Spirit' and 'the Letter' are oppositional by examining how church leaders engage with the Bible and other religious writings to establish church structures. By analyzing these literacy practices, the work offers new insights into social dynamics and conflicts in African religious contexts, appealing to scholars across various disciplines, including anthropology and religious studies.
