Reviews

"""An exacting, compelling, lucid, and pace setting account of the practice of deliverance inviting a critical and rigorous rethinking of the ministerial stewardship of deliverance in contemporary African Pentecostalism.""—Elias Bongmba, Rice University ""However disturbing its insight into bodies and desires might be, Seductive Spirits skillfully navigates the risk of ethnographic voyeurism by thematizing our discomfort and reflecting on the related ethical and theoretical challenges. It is one of the most thought-provoking and boundary-pushing studies of Pentecostalism I have come across since long.""—Adriaan van Klinken, University of Leeds"
