Description:	Includes bibliographical references and index. Abstract: Blood and Fire offers an ethnographic portrait of a charismatic church and its faith-based ministry, illuminating how religiously motivated social service makes use of beliefs about the nature of God's love. It traces the triumphs and travails associated with living a set of rigorous religious ideals, providing an analysis of a faith community affiliated with the 'emerging church' movement in Pentecostalism. Based on more than four years of interviews and surveys with people from all levels of the organization,... Blood and Fire sheds light on the differing worldviews and religious perceptions between those who served in as well as those who were served by this ministry.--From publisher's description. Contents: Godly love and post-modern Christianity: an introduction. -- The man, the myth, and the vision. -- An emerging church family and the family business. -- Charisma and spiritual transformation. -- Godly love as emotional energy. -- The BnF family and the homeless poor. -- Ideology and tradition in conflict. -- Smoke, mirrors, and holy madness. -- Epilogue: a social scientific assessment of Godly love.
