| Summary: | Getting the Holy Ghost is an ethnography that examines a small, African-American Pentecostal Church in Brooklyn, NY. Using personal stories, the book focuses on the individual process of becoming Pentecostal while challenging important concepts like crisis to explain the process where individuals become tongue-speakers. The book explores new concepts like "God-Hunting" and "Holy Ghost Capital" and asserts that the small Pentecostal Church is better able to retain the charisma that sparked the religious movement. |
