Savio Abreu: Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flames: A Sociological Study of New Christian Movements in Contemporary Goa, Gebunden

Klappentext

The book is an ethnographic study of Christian groups in contemporary Goan society that come under the umbrella of Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity. Most studies on Pentecostalism in India are from a theological perspective. This work is an attempt to fill this gap and provides a sociological understanding of religion in a modern globalised context. It is an important contribution to the growing field of 'new religious movements' in India.
