Book Synopsis The Spiritual Churches of New Orleans by : Claude F. Jacobs
Book excerpt: The New Orleans Spiritual Churches constitute a distinctive African American belief system. Influenced by Catholicism, Pentecostalism, Spiritualism, and Voodoo, the group is a New World syncretic faith, similar to Espiritismo, Santeria, and Umbanda. In The Spiritual Churches of New Orleans, Claude Jacobs and Andrew Kaslow combine a historical account of the emergence of this religion with careful ethnographic description of current congregations. Complementing their text with striking photographs, the authors convey the ecstasy at the heart of the Spiritual experience. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
