| Summary: | The charismatic city: religious sense and sensibility for future urban design -- The church: beginnings and sources of the charismatic city -- The king's five bodies: Pentecostals in the sacred city and the logic of interreligious dialogue -- Fire from heaven: Pentecostals in the secular city -- Forward space: architects of the charismatic city -- Pentecostals in the inner city: religion and the politics of friendship -- The communion quotient of cities -- Religious peacebuilding and economic justice in the charismatic city -- The charismatic city as the body of Christ -- Summary and concluding thoughts. Two powerful and interrelated transnational cultural expressions mark our epoch. They are Charismatic spirituality and the global city. This book offers a fresh and challenging articulation of the character of the charismatic renewal of Christianity in the framework of global cities, the socio-economic situation of poor urban residents, and urban space, resulting in a vision for the future city as a religious, ethical, and political space. The book studies the social, economic, and ethical implications of the charismatic renewal on urban living and urban design aimed at promoting human flourishing. From multidisciplinary perspectives Nimi Wariboko investigates the nature and impact of interreligious dialogues and encounters between charismatic Christianity and other religions in global cities.
