{"product_id":"new-faces-of-god-in-virginia-garrard-9780197529270","title":"New Faces of God in Latin America: Emerging Forms of Vernacular Christianity","description":"Combining historical and ethnographic research methods, along with a thorough review of existing literature on the study of Latin American Christianity, \u003cem\u003eNew Faces of God in Latin America \u003c\/em\u003eaddresses the important question of how global religion and local culture interact, situating the experience of Latin American Christianity in the broader conversations in the field of world Christianity, particularly with respect to the growing understanding of Christianity as a non-Western religion. Through case studies of different Pentecostal experiences in Latin America, Virginia Garrard explores cross-pollination and interaction with indigenous religions and cultures, finding widely varied responses to the material and spiritual needs of Latin Americans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author locates Latin American religious experience within a field known as the \"history of non-Western Christianity.\" This focuses on the experience, perceptions, and adaptations of those who adopt Christianity outside the context of Western missionary or other colonizing projects. The book engages with the intersection of culture and spirit-filled religion, with an eye to how those interactions help frame an alternative religious modernity. Throughout the book, the author uses \u003cem\u003eculture\u003c\/em\u003e as both a heuristic lens and as a variable within the equation. She argues that culture helps us understand how people engage with and reconfigure global religious flows within their own imaginations and for their own parochial uses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Garrard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197529275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197529270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"Virginia Garrard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986537578751,"sku":"9780197529270","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7a60469-729b-42bc-881d-9da9ccb3b131.jpg?v=1683283933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-faces-of-god-in-virginia-garrard-9780197529270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
