Its current transnational extension and its spectacular boom are due, among others factors, to the fact that it is directed, organized and composed of gypsies. This volume provides an important historical, theological, and ethnographic account of the Pentecostal Revival movement that has been sweeping through the Southern European Roma\/Gypsy communities of France and Spain especially. Written by Manuela Cantón-Delgado, an anthropologist from the University of Seville, together with three others collaborators, it is a fascinating and careful account of the social impact of this movement in contemporary Europe. As such, it represents one of the first serious analyses of a religious, ethnic and political movement largely unknown in North American, to be made available in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe big questions about the emerging field of world Christianity are explored in this focused study of a trans-Andalusian ethnic group that sets in relief how evangelical and pentecostal-type converts are bringing their indigenous cultural traditions into late modernity. Here ethnographic thickness and social scientific analysis are mutually illuminating windows into the mysteries of charismatic transformation at the dawn of the third millennium. -- Amos Yong, Professor of Theology \u0026amp; Mission and Dean, School of Theology \u0026amp; School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Seminary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue to the Spanish Edition (2004), Dr. Teresa San Roman…………….\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s Prologue to the Spanish Edition (2004)…………………………….\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor’s Prologue to the English Edition (2019)……………………………..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments…………………………………………………………………..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Lower Andalusia Gypsies: Margins, Stigmas and History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.The Origins of Gypsy Protestantism \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.The Philadelphia Evangelical Church: Formal Aspects, Representations, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand Practices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.Catholic and Protestant Gypsies in Jerez de la Frontera: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An exchange of glances \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.“These Gypsies have become Priests?”: A Polyphonic History of \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe First Conversions of Andalusian Gypsies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6.The God of the Markets: Gypsy Evangelism and Itinerant Commerce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e7.Detoxification Centers and Healing Practices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8.Methodological Processes: Ethnography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9.Theoretical Digression: Contemporary Secularization and Emerging Religions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10.Conclusions to the Spanish Edition (2004)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11.Almost Fifteen Years Later…(2019)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfterword of a Gypsy Pastor………………………………… \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography…………………………………………………..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Contributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040833732951,"sku":"9781498580939","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498580939.jpg?v=1750947996","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/evangelical-gypsies-in-spain-9781498580939","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
