Based on many years of close observation, his analysis shows not only why Pentecostalism is popular in Brazilian city life, but also how it has become a deeply embedded aspect of national popular culture. --Simon Coleman, coeditor of The Anthropology of Global Pentecostalism and Evangelicalism A detailed, sympathetic analysis of favela religion in relation to secular media. . . . Highly recommended. --S. D. Glazier, Choice Martijn Oosterbaan not only provides an ethnography of Brazilian Pentecostalism but also shows how this premodern faith enables survival amid the violence of the favelas that are the underside of Rio's modernity. Transmitting the Spirit also depicts how an otherworldly Pentecostal piety traverses the sonic and electronic currents of the present late modern age. Spiritual power in the South American Pentecostal hemisphere resounds in this excellent book. --Amos Yong, coeditor of The Spirit of Praise: Music and Worship in Global Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity “A detailed, sympathetic analysis of favela religion in relation to secular media. . . . Highly recommended.” —S. D. Glazier, Choice “Marks an undoubted step forward in the interpretation of a phenomenon which remains abundantly described but continues to cry out for creative interpretation.” —David Lehmann, Journal of Latin American Studies “Scholars and students from a variety of disciplines—including anthropology, communications studies, religious studies, and political science for example—will find something of use and interest within the pages of this book.” —H.
