Recommendation
Prolific religion author and professor James Wellman Jr., and academics Katie Corcoran and Kate Stockly, all from Washington University, examined 12 American megachurches and interviewed church members. They found that even though a few charismatic church leaders have made negative headlines, most megachurches provide a warm, supportive environment. The authors report that the churches’ theatrical shows full of sound, light and energy generate an anchoring emotional impact. They explore both theology and sociology to paint an intriguing portrait which may surprise skeptics.
