Reviews
This is an important book because it illustrates very well what some sociologists have argued for some time: globalization does not mean the end of religion but rather globalization introduces new forms including networked religion. * Michael Wilkinson, Pneuma *
Christerson and Flory have offered us a valuable piece of the overall puzzle depicting changes in the organization of Christianity. * Christopher P. Scheitle, Sociology of Religion *
The authors' aims are clearly defined and unpacked throughout the book. They substantiate their claim that [Independent Network Charismatic] Christianity is a rapidly growing sub-group in neo-Charismatic Christianity and argue that it will influence mainstream Christian practices in years to come. Their discussion of networks in the religious economy is useful in understanding the influence of INC Christianity in the changing religious landscape of America. * Shaun Joynt, Reading Religion *
Well-researched and well-executed... Christerson and Flory have offered us a valuable piece of the overall puzzle depicting changes in the organization of Christianity. * Christopher P. Scheitle, Sociology of Religion *
