Abstract

The political weight Pentecostals have gained in the last decades and their use of phrases that echo rightist US-American spiritual warfare exponents have led scholars to view Pentecostals as naturally leaning to reactionary autocratic politics. Taking the Philippines as a case study, I argue for a more complex picture—namely one that views the use of said phrases and related practices as products of a history of negotiations of Christian identity, church, and politics that is globally entangled and entrenched in geopolitical dynamics.
