Variously referred to as the charismatic ‘renewal’ or ‘revival’, it was a key Christian response to globalization, modernity and secularization. Unlike other accounts (which focus either on denominational pentecostalism or charismatic phenomena outside the West), this volume describes transatlantic Christianity drawing deeply on its pneumatic roots to bring about renewal. New research in archives and overlooked journals illuminate key figures from David du Plessis to John Wimber, providing insights which challenge the standard interpretations of the charismatic movement’s origins and influence. </em></p><p><a href="https://brill.com/view/title/59393"><strong>Link.</strong></a></p>

However, even if it's easy and simple to remember, the label misleading.</p><p>The more I read (for example, <a href="https://katebowler.com/books/blessed-a-history-of-the-american-prosperity-gospel/"><em>Blessed</em></a>, from Kate Bowler, and Coleman, <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/globalisation-of-charismatic-christianity/E24CD72C19F8F862825821C5B782144B"><em>The Globalization of Charismatic Christianity</em></a>) and the more I do field research (In France, Congo, Madagascar Burkina Faso etc), the more I come to realize that <strong>there is at least FIVE distinct theologies behind the "Prosperity Gospel" label</strong>.

This land is facing political extremism (National Front Party) but also renewal and change. I just come back today from a very warm special worship service at <strong>Paris Centre Chretien</strong>, a vibrant multicultural Charismatic church developing nearby.</p><p>It is located in La Courneuve (Paris's subburbs). This kind of new church is far from the media mainstream. Most institutions ignore it. But it is a vibrant face of new France. Attracting thousand of believers.
