A Problem of Presence: Beyond Scripture in an African Church (The Anthropology of Christianity) (Volume 2)

The book "A Problem of Presence" is a groundbreaking study that delves into the fascinating world of the Friday Masowe apostolics of Zimbabwe, a group that rejects the Bible and instead receives the Word of God directly from the Holy Spirit.

Through a detailed and sensitive ethnographic account, Matthew Engelke sheds light on the apostolics' unique perspective on mediation and authority in Christianity.

The book offers a rich and rewarding exploration of the ways in which the religious subject defines and claims to construct a relationship with the spiritual world through language, actions, and objects.

With its lively and accessible style, "A Problem of Presence" makes important contributions to the anthropology of Christianity, the history of religions in Africa, semiotics, and material culture studies.
