  • Spirits as Ready-to-Handle: A Phenomenological Analysis of Pentecostal Spiritual Warfare Practices in Tanzania

    Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Anthropological Quarterly•2026

    Based on long-term ethnographic research in central Tanzania, this paper focuses on Pentecostal/Charismatic practices of spiritual warfare. Most Pentecostals/Charismatics possess a detailed, albeit sometimes fragmented, knowledge about different categories of spirits that belong to the Devil’s team. At the same time, participation in spiritual warfare is also, and foremost, a question of acquiring a set of sensibilities, dispositions, and embodie…

  • Money That Matters: Coins, Banknotes, and Mediation in Tanzanian Prosperity Ministries

    Open Access•Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Religions•2024•References: 23

    Based on long-term ethnographic research in Tanzania, this article contributes to existing scholarship on adaptations and modifications of the so-called gospel in African contexts. I show how the Prosperity Gospel has taken shape in an environment of intense religious/spiritual/medical competition and, not least, of widespread cultural concerns with the moral legitimacy of wealth generated through alliances with spiritual forces. However, I also …

  • The digital pregnancy: A qualitative study of Danish women’s use of pregnancy apps

    Open Access•Martin Lindhardt, Emma Balslev Brandsborg et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Cultural…•2023•References: 9

    Based on an interview study with Danish women, this article explores how the frequent use of pregnancy mobile applications shapes the lived or experienced pregnancy. More specifically, we look at a reported dilemma between, on one hand, using the information of pregnancy apps on bodily and fetal developments to gain a sense of control over individual pregnancies and, on the other hand, an experience of the apps becoming something of a controlling…

  • Converting to pre-Islamic glory: Historiography and national identity in the narratives of Iranian Christian converts in Denmark

    Sofie Alexandra Juliane Husbye Hansen, Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary Religion•2023•References: 6

    A widely accepted view in the scholarship on religious conversion is that converting to a new religion involves a process of biographic reconstruction. However, conversion may also involve a reconstruction of other kinds of pasts. The article presents a study of Iranian immigrants in Denmark who, coming from an Islamic background, converted to Christianity. For these Iranians, conversion did not only entail a reinterpretation of their individual …

  • Evangélico a mi manera. El nuevo consumidor pentecostal en el mercado religioso chileno

    Open Access•Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Cultura y religión•2022

    La finalidad de este artículo es esclarecer la diversidad evangélica-pentecostal en el Chile actual. Mi enfoque en especial está puesto en la emergencia de un grupo de “consumidores religiosos” que se pueden categorizar como “evangélicos a su manera” o “pentecostales a su manera”. Ellos, en su mayoría, son personas que han crecido en iglesias pentecostales y tienen un mayor nivel de educación que sus padres. En mi análisis me baso en el concepto …

  • In Denmark we eat pork and shake hands! Islam and the anti-Islamic emblems of cultural difference in Danish neo-nationalism

    Open Access•Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•European Journal of Cultural…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 15

    This article argues that constructions of Danishness and Danish culture in neo-nationalist right-wing discourse have increasingly become structured around a marked opposition to Islam and Muslim immigrants. My analysis draws on Frederik Barth’s understanding of ethnic identity as constituted through processes of demarcation of boundaries vis-à-vis other groups. In such processes, certain cultural phenomena, both material and immaterial, can be el…

  • Pushing Pentecostalism toward the respectable: On the mainstreaming of a countercultural religious movement in Chile

    Pentecostalism used to be the stigmatized religion of the marginal sectors of Chilean society and has often been interpreted by scholars in terms of symbolic protest. However, a new generation of Pentecostals is now attempting to redefine their religion as more legitimate and respectable. This process involves attempts at gaining more public recognition and it implies revisiting Pentecostal stylistic and religious practices. Many younger Pentecos…

  • Pentecostalism, Witchcraft, and Islamic Spiritologies in Central Tanzania

    This article explores how notions of spiritual warfare among Pentecostals/charismatics in south-central Tanzania are entangled with popular Islamic spiritologies from the coastal areas, especially Islamic spirits known as majini. Majini have become incorporated into contemporary shared understandings of witchcraft and traditional healing, contributing to a perceived modernization of witchcraft

  • Pentecostalism and the Encounter with Traditional Religion in Tanzania: Combat, Congruence and Confusion

    This research article explores how expressions of Pentecostal/Charismatic Christianity in Tanzania have taken shape through a complex entanglement with African traditional religion and traditional healing. On the one hand, Tanzanian Pentecostals/Charismatics conceive of figures associated with the world of tradition (witches, traditional healers, different kinds of spirits) as the main adversaries in the spiritual warfare they understand themselv…

  • Introduction: Presence and Impact of Pentecostal/Charismatic Christianity in Africa

    Martin Lindhardt•CHAPTER•Pentecostalism in Africa•2015

    This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the book Pentecostalism in Africa . The book discusses the presence and impact of Pentecostal/Charismatic Christianity (PC/C) in Africa. The extent to which the explosion of PC/C has contributed to overall Christian growth in Africa (Christians now make up almost half of the continent's entire population) is uncertain and may, in fact, not be all that significant. Pentecostal…

    Within recent decades Pentecostal/charismatic Christianity has moved from an initially peripheral position to become a force to be reckoned with within Africa's religious landscapes. Bringing together prominent Africanist scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this book offers a comprehensive and multifaceted treatment of the ways in which Pentecostal-Charismatic movements have shaped the orientations of African Christianity and extended thei…

  • Når religionen sætter sig i kroppen: Om fænomenologiske drejninger i antropologisk ritualteori

    Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Tidsskriftet Antropologi•2014•References: 7

    Denne artikel belyser fænomenologiske drejninger i antropologisk ritualteori. Jeg trækker både på andre forskeres arbejde og på min egen forskning i pinsekristendom i Tanzania og Chile, idet jeg argumenterer for, at et fænomenologisk fokus på forskellige erfaringsmåder og ikke mindst på den inkarnerede væren-i-verden kan nuancere klassiske definitioner af religion, som relaterer til propositionel tro (for eksempel tro på, at Gud eksisterer), idee…

  • We, the Youth, Need to Be Effusive: Pentecostal Youth Culture in Contemporary Chile

    Open Access•Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Bulletin of Latin American Research•2012•Cited by: 3•References: 6

    This paper explores the recasting of Pentecostalism as a youth religion in contemporary Chile. I focus in particular on how young native Pentecostals, whose life experiences and social status differ from those of ex-Catholic converts, address the dilemma of being exposed to the religious culture of their parents, and their congregation, and to the secular youth culture beyond the religious community. I argue that, although faced with many challen…

    Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Canadian Journal of African…•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 24

    Many Tanzanians share a basic understanding of the occult as a moving force in the visible world. But at the same time, notions of the occult are characterised by indeterminacies in meaning, thereby allowing for multiple interpretations of particular events. This article explores various readings of two particular incidents that both occurred within a suburb of the city of Iringa in South-central Tanzania. First a Lutheran pastor started sufferin…

  • If you are saved you cannot forget your parents: Agency, Power, and Social Repositioning in Tanzanian born-again Christianity

    Martin Lindhardt•ARTICLE•Journal of Religion in Africa•2010•Cited by: 16

    In much of the literature on African Pentecostalism, conversion has been associated with a striving for modernist individualist identities and a strategy for legitimising social, generational rupture. This article contributes to the existing scholarly field by shedding light on the ways in which urban Tanzanian born-again Christians address generational antagonisms and position themselves in relation to elder generations. Drawing on anthropologic…
