DESCRIPTION:Innovation in Contemporary Evangelical Christianity (2)\nPanel
  Chair: Martin Radermacher (CERES)\nConsidering revivalism\, processes of 
 institutionalization of churches and revitalization of traditions\, Evange
 lical and Charismatic Christianity have been the prototype of both innovat
 ion and tradition from the start. This apparent paradox and interdependenc
 y will be in the center of this panel: How is it possible for movements an
 d communities to flesh out an identity\, encourage innovative methods\, an
 d still feel ingrained in religious tradition? What normative role do text
 s and readaptations of texts play? How does the body become a means of rel
 igious innovation and regulation? Evangelicals navigate between engagement
  and distancing – what Lynne Gerber (2012) calls (following Smith) the 
 “evangelical dance of engagement and distinction”. This condition fost
 ers cultural adaptations that include\, e.g.\, media and new technologies 
 which transform what they transport (Birgit Meyer 2010) and thus entail  
 innovation. The panel welcomes papers on evangelical and charismatic pract
 ices and discourses from different regions in the world in contemporary pe
 rspective addressing these questions.\nMartin Radermacher (CERES) will cha
 ir this international panel.\n(panel 28-202 | 112)
