Drawing on two years of ethnographic research, Naomi Haynes
explores Pentecostal Christianity in the kind of community where it
often flourishes: a densely populated neighborhood in the heart of
an extraction economy. On the Zambian Copperbelt, Pentecostal
adherence embeds believers in relationships that help them to
"move" and progress in life. These efforts give Copperbelt
Pentecostalism its particular local character, shaping ritual
practice, gender dynamics, and church economics. Focusing on the
promises and problems that Pentecostalism presents, Moving by the
Spirit highlights this religion's role in making life possible in
structurally adjusted Africa.
