Faith and the Pursuit of Health explores how Pentecostal Christians
manage chronic illness in ways that sheds light on health
disparities and social suffering in Samoa, a place where rates of
obesity and related cardiometabolic disorders have reached
population-wide levels. Pentecostals grapple with how to maintain
the health of their congregants in an environment that fosters
cardiometabolic disorders. They find ways to manage these forms of
sickness and inequality through their churches and the friendships
developed within these institutions. Examining how Pentecostal
Christianity provides many Samoans with tools to manage day-to-day
issues around health and sickness, Jessica Hardin argues for
understanding the synergies between how Christianity and
biomedicine practice chronicity.
