Drawing on two years of ethnographic research,&#160;Naomi Haynes&#160;explores Pentecostal Christianity in the kind of community where it often flourishes: a densely populated neighborhood in the heart of an extraction economy. On the Zambian Copperbelt, Pentecostal adherence embeds believers in relationships that help them to &ldquo;move&rdquo; and progress in life. These efforts give Copperbelt Pentecostalism its particular local character, shaping ritual practice, gender dynamics, and church economics. Focusing on the promises and problems that Pentecostalism presents,&#160;<I>Moving by the Spirit&#160;</I>highlights this religion&rsquo;s role in making life possible in structurally adjusted Africa.
