Known in the Dominican Republic and Togo as Vodu, in Benin as
Vodun, and in Haiti as Vodou, West African religion has, for
hundreds of years, served as a repository of sacred knowledge while
simultaneously evolving in response to human experience and
globalization. Spirit Service: Vodun and Vodou in the African
Atlantic World explores this dynamic religion, its mobility, and
its place in the modern world. By examining the systems-ritual
practices, community-based spirit veneration, and spiritual means
of securing opportunity and well-being-alongside the individuals
who worship, this rich collection offers the first comprehensive
ethnographic study of West African spirit service on a broad scale.
Contributors consider social encounters between African/Haitian
practitioners and European / North American spiritual seekers,
economies and histories, funerary rites and spirit possessions, and
examinations of gender and materiality. Offering much-needed
perspective on this historically disparaged religion, Spirit
Service reminds us all that the gods are growing, assimilating, and
demanding recognition and respect.

Combines a serious examination of the state of today's church
and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in
the confessional truths of the Reformation.
Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of
success-big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches-these are not good
days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly
difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their
non-Christian neighbors-all because the gospel of grace has been
neglected.
In this work, now in paperback, the late James Montgomery Boice
identifies what's happened within evangelicalism and suggests how
the confessional statements of the Reformation-Scripture alone,
Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and glory to God alone-can
ignite full-scale revival. "A church without these convictions has
ceased to be a true church, whatever else it may be," he wrote, but
"if we hold to these doctrines, our churches and those we influence
will grow strong."
