"A significant study of religion and power by a probing and caring anthropologist. Full of surprising insights, "City of God" is a must-read for anyone concerned with the possibilities and limits of political theology in a volatile 21st century."--Joao Biehl, author of "Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment " ""City of God" is a rich and gracefully written ethnography of Pentecostal Christians in today's Guatemala which shows how a disciplined self, constituted in daily devotional activities, is believed to be pertinent not only for individual well-being but the soul of the nation. With its concept of 'Christian citizenship, ' it is also a significant theoretical contribution to the anthropology of religion. The book deserves to be read widely by students of anthropology, Central America, Christianity and religion more generally."--Steve Caton, author of "Yemen Chronicle: An Anthropology of War and Mediation" "A groundbreaking ethnography of Christian citizenship and subject formation in the neo-liberal era. O'Neill focuses on what evangelical Christians in Guatemala City actually do, by way of a close study of Church ceremonies, cell group meetings, interviews, direct daily observation and close readings of the voluminous mass-media products. The result is a thoroughly innovative study of the way in which social circumstance and politics are internalized. We will be feeling the aftershocks of the movement that is so sensitively studied in this book for years to come."--Claudio Lomnitz, author of "Death and the Idea of Mexico"
