Thomas Csordas's eloquent analysis of the Catholic Charismatic
Renewal answers one of the primary callings of anthropology: to
stimulate critical reflection by making the exotic seem familiar
and the familiar appear strange. Csordas describes the movement's
internal diversity and traces its development and expansion across
30 years. He offers insights into the contemporary nature of
rationality, the transformation of space and time in Charismatic
daily life, gender discipline, the blurring of boundaries between
ritual and everyday life, the sense of community forged through
shared ritual participation, and the creativity of language and
metaphor in prophetic utterance. Charisma, Csordas proposes, is a
collective self-process, located not in the personality of a
leader, but in the rhetorical resources mobilized by participants
in ritual performance. His examination of ritual language and
ritual performance illuminates this theory in relation to the
postmodern condition of culture.
