This book centers around mid-level charismatic pastors in Ghana.
Karen Lauterbach analyzes pastorship as a pathway to becoming small
"big men" and achieving status, wealth, and power in the country.
The volume investigates both the social processes of becoming a
pastor and the spiritual dimensions of how power and wealth are
conceptualized, achieved, and legitimized in the particular context
of Asante in Ghana. Lauterbach integrates her analysis of
charismatic Christianity with a historically informed examination
of social mobility-how people in subordinate positions seek to join
up with power. She explores how the ideas and experiences
surrounding the achievement of wealth and performance of power are
shaped and re-shaped. In this way, the book historicizes current
expressions of charismatic Christianity in Ghana while also
bringing the role of religion and belief to bear on our
understanding of wealth and power as they function more broadly in
African societies.
