“Martijn Oosterbaan brilliantly plunges us into the vivid and dynamic worlds of contemporary Pentecostalism and Brazilian favelas. 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
