Testing Prayer: Science and Healing by Candy Gunther Brown
From Prayer Activities to Receptive Prayer: Godly Love and the Knowledge that Surpasses Understanding
Research on prayer, even when using measures beyond simple prayer frequency to create typologies, has ignored the dynamic relationship between God as a “divine other” in interaction with the pray-er. Using statistics from surveys on prayer as a backdrop, qualitative accounts that demonstrate the relational nature of prayer are explored through the lenses of the Godly love model. Based on data collected as part of the Flame of Love project, prayer…
Pentecostal Prayer within the Assemblies of God: An Empirical Study
Although much has been written on theologies of healing and on evangelist healers, little is known about how pentecostals in the pew pray for healing. After placing a pentecostal understanding of healing within a larger cultural context, the relationship between prayer and healing is explored through a survey of 1827 adherents from 21 Assemblies of God (AG) congregations. The survey data will be used to provide descriptive answers to basic questi…

The Bully Pulpit: The Politics of the Protestant Clergy
When Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994, the Christian Right claimed a major role in their defeat and House Speaker Newt Gingrich credited the organized Christian vote with the Republican victory. Ministers from many political persuasions have long been active in American politics, but in the 1980s and 1990s it has seemed impossible to find any political controversy that did not involve the clergy-often on both sides of the issue. Bully i…

Inspecting the Fruit of the "Toronto Blessing": A Sociological Perspective
43 Inspecting the Fruit of the "Toronto Blessing": A Sociological Perspective Margaret M. Poloma By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn- bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit …
Routinization and Reality: Reflections on Serpents and the Spirit
In this critique of Hood's discussion of serpent handlers, I explore the common ground that exists between them and the larger Pentecostal-charismatic (Spirit) movement. Both share an intuitive foundation for constructing reality that is sup- ported by a worldview that regards the supernatural as natural. Understanding this worldview requires a recognition that at its heart is what Hood terms obedience to God and what I have described as a right …

Reinventing American Protestantism: Christianity in the New Millennium
The 'Toronto Blessing: A Holistic Model of Healing
National and regional surveys that have included items on healing suggest that a significant minority of Americans claim to have experienced a divine or miraculous healing. Many of them are involved in a Pentecostal or charismatic (P/c) approach to Christianity, a recent offspring of which is the 'Toronto Blessing,' a modern revival having its origins at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. P/c Christians promote a worldview in which the pow…
The 'Toronto Blessing: Charisma, Institutionalization, and Revival
Since January 20, 1994, the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a church located near the Pearson International Airport, has become the center of a global revival. Although similar revival fires are underway at other centers (in various parts of North America as well as on other continents), TACF is an important institutional source for the dissemination of the experience, ideology, and structural form of this religious social movement. Using a…

Innerworldly Individualism: Charismatic Community and its Institutionalization
Innerworldly Individualism looks to colonial history, in particular, seventeenth-century New England, to understand the sources of modern nation building. Seligman analyzes how cultural assumptions of collective identity and social authority emerged out of the religious beliefs of the first generation of settlers in New England. He goes on to examine how these assumptions crystallized three generations later into patterns of normative order, form…

Reconsidering the Dual-Career Marriage A Longitudinal Approach
THE topic of dual-career families has been approached by numerous researchers since the publication of Rapoport and Rapoport's (1969) pioneering work. Most have utilized a cross-sectional research design. This article attempts to add a longitudinal dimension by reporting data collected in 1977 from 45 professional women who were originally interviewed in 1969. Their career and family patterns are investigated in terms of the family life cycle pro…
Scales for Investigation of the Dual-Career Family
Research on the dual-career family has primarily been qualitative and has used relatively small samples. Although much has been learned, questions about the representativeness and generalizability of findings remain. This study uses data collected from 53 career wives and has three purposes: to suggest six analytical areas for dualcareer research (marriage type, domestic responsibility, satisfaction, self-image, career salience, and career line);…

An Approach to Quantifying the Needs of Dual-Career Families
Research on the dual-career family is identifying strains and costs particular to women who are attempting to balance the two roles of career and family. Counseling and associated research have not, as yet, provided knowledge that would lead to the more effective counseling of women in dual career families. Using wives in the second phase of a longitudinal study of 53 dual career couples, this study inductively derives a set of dual-career scales…

Toward a Christian Sociological Perspective: Religious Values, Theory and Methodology
Various sociological perspectives have developed during the past decade to cast a discerning light upon presumedly "value-free sociology." It has been less popular, however, to question the anti-religious bias in sociology than it has been to demonstrate racial, class or gender biases. Much sociology continues to rest upon an anti-spiritual positivistic base that has blinded sociologists to understanding the orthodox religious believer. After exp…

On the Social Construction of Reality: Reported Husband-Wife Differences
Introduction The reciprocal nature of the role of husband and wife in the con struction of reality is an assumption made in nearly all theoretical discussions. As Berger and Kellner (1970:58) have observed in their description of the construction of reality in marriage, Each partner's definitions of reality must be continually correlated with the definitions of the other. The other is present in nearly all horizons of everyday conduct ... In each…

Introduction Sex Roles in Modern Society
The reciprocal nature of is well accepted in contemporary sociology. Such concepts as taking, playing, taking role of other, set, and multiple are familiar to even beginning student, making him aware of complexity of term. While reciprocal character of complementary roles is stated in theory, it is often lost sight of in empirical research. Nowhere, perhaps, is this more apparent than in literature on roles. With recent interest in women's role i…
