| Итог: | The Media Acts of the Apostles -- Confession, Technically Speaking -- Outstanding Elasticity -- The Aerobics of Jesus -- Operation Theotókos -- Ghost Chair -- Theology on the Run -- Slanted Operations "Tessellating the political economy of mass media with ancient conceptions of the gymnasium, The Charismatic Gymnasium traces the shift by the Catholic Church toward orthodox Greek repertoires in order to advance the concept of pneumatic liberalism to think Brazil's contemporary moment. In line with the recent interest in concepts like "life-force" or "vital substance" in Euro-American intellectual discourse, the book documents the central role of pneuma (the Greek term for air, breath, spirit) in a vast respiratory religious program that in Brazil goes under the popular name of "the aerobics of Jesus."
