The large and explosive global Charismatic movement spread in powerful ways in the small and tranquil English-speaking Caribbean. It is here in the deep Caribbean world of demonic possessions, spiritual demons, and supernatural healers where the charismatic movement continues to shape a resilient culture. Placing the charismatic movement in the realm of culture provides some highly surprising findings that reveal the potential of a religious movement and its ability for change in a late-modern social world Foreword -- Chapter One: Spiritual Rumblings in the Caribbean -- Chapter Two: The Study of Charismatic Christianity in the English-Speaking Caribbean -- Chapter Three: Charismatic Ethnography in the Charismatic Caribbean -- Chapter Four: Antigua -- Chapter Five: Trinidad -- Chapter Six: St. Lucia, Barbados, and Dominica -- Chapter Seven: St. Kitts and Montserrat -- Chapter Eight: Summary and Final Thoughts -- Epilogue: Haiti |
