Charismania: When Christian Fundamentalism Goes Wrong

The Charismatic movement is experiencing growth worldwide. Heralded by many as the future of Christianity, it has spread through all the major Christian denominations. This book examines the origins of Charismatics, charts their rise in the UK, and examines trends within the movement. Basing his study on a number of authenticated case studies, the author explores key phenomena, such as spirtual warfare, exorcism, spiritual gifts and the “Toronto blessing”. He seeks to raise significant questions about the values and practices of the movement, and considers these in relation to the wider rise in fundamentalism and experience-based religion.
