520 |a Christianity has a long tradition of miracle healings, and in recent years this has been mobilized in interesting ways by digital technology and global communications. The result is somewhat paradoxical: on the one hand healings depend very much on the physical evidence of the body, first presented as damaged (sick, marred, impotent, in torment) and then after prayer and spiritual intervention, presented as manifestly whole and well. On the other hand, this immediate (palpable and physical) evidence is mediated in Christian evangelical film, television and web videos into an electronic format that can be rapidly transmitted to far-off audiences, creating a massed virtual congregation united by common articles of faith. This massed virtual congregation, theoretically global, is nevertheless structured as a form of evangelical orientalism, in which terms such as the "New Asia," the "1040 Window," and the "Global South" are used to designate a space of faith and the supernatural which is consumed by a Western evangelical gaze.
