Description
Summary:Pentecostalism is part of the revivalist movements that led, because of its success to speak of a « return of the repressed » – in the words of Gilles Kepel – an expression coming today to replace the paradigm of secularization, dominant in the sociology of religion since the beginning of the Twentieth century. This article is based on an ethnographic study conducted in the city of Jönköping, a bastion of born again Protestantism in one country, Sweden, reputedly the most secularized in the world. The author intends to examine the possible adaptations that Pentecostalism has set up to make his presence accepted in a very secular environment. It thus appears that the « return of religion » does not only rely on the rhetoric of conflict against the ideology of secularism but attempts to settle a negotiated coexistence with its hosting environment however free of religious influence that it might be.
