<br/><br/>Introduction: Pentecostal cultural change -- Orthodoxy and Christian culture in the Dominican Republic -- Villa Altagracia: el pueblo caliente, el pueblo profetico -- Pluralism, heterodoxy, and Christian hegemony -- Christians apart: being and becoming Pentecostal -- Youth gangs, conversion, and evangelical moral authority -- Residual masculinity and gendered charisma -- Pentecostal social currency and the search for respect -- Conclusion: the politics of Christian identity. 
<br/><br/> In his study of a barrio of Villa Altagracia, Brendan Thornton examines the appeal of Pentecostalism by showing how conversion inverts traditional models of legitimacy, transforming narratives of spiritual authority that, once based on virtue, are now based on redemption.
