A Prophetic Trajectory: Ideologies of Place, Time and Belonging in an Angolan Religious Movement

Blanes multi-sited ethnographic-cum-historical study of a prominent Christian prophetic church of Angolan origin is an excellent piece of scholarship, and makes a unique contribution to the literature on Christianity in Africa and on African Christianity in Europe. More than other scholars in the emerging anthropology of Christianity, Blanes gives detailed attention to the interlocking of temporal and spatial dimensions in the context of diasporic religion and religious self-identification. · Thomas Kirsch, University of Konstanz See more
