How does religious healing work, if indeed it does? In this study
of the contemporary North American movement known as the Catholic
Charismatic Renewal, Thomas Csordas investigates the healing
practices of a modern religious movement to provide a rich cultural
analysis of the healing experience. This is not only a book about
healing, however, but also one about the nature of self and self-
transformation. Blending ethnographic data and detailed case
studies, Csordas examines processes of sensory imagery,
performative utterance, orientation, and embodiment. His book forms
the basis for a rapprochement between phenomenology and semiotics
in culture theory that will interest anthropologists, philosophers,
psychologists, physicians, and students of comparative religion and
healing.
