Powerful Devices - Abimbola Adunni Adelakun - Bog

By analyzing spiritual warfare prayers, author Abimbola A. Adelakun shows how the rituals of prayer enable an apprehension of time, paradigms of self-enhancement, and the subversion of political authority. A critical intervention, Powerful Devices explores charismatic Christianity’s relationship to science and secular authority, technology and temporality, neoliberalism, and reactionary ideology.
