Insider ethnography: The believer's dilemma

DeShane, Kenneth Randall

phD. diss, UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI - COLUMBIA，2000

Abstract

Employing postmodern anthropological and postcolonial theories, I begin this study by examining the roles of ethnographers in writing ethnography and by questioning the validity of scholars speaking for the “other.” Then, by claiming the position of an “other,” I use the technique of insider ethnography to analyze various aspects of Pentecostalism that focus upon the roles of the Holy Spirit, which have, heretofore, been overlooked, interpreted incorrectly, or interpreted inadequately. Most studies of Pentecostalism predominantly concentrate upon structural analyses of sermons focusing upon formulae employed by preachers when composing sermons or the performative aspects of sermons. These studies necessarily focus upon the finished products. Furthermore, other studies look at how Pentecostals differentiate themselves from modern society via clothing and/or behavior, or illustrate how their practices are representative of cross-cultural phenomena; these are the most obvious and outward characteristics. What this dissertation contributes is an in-depth analysis of the folk theology revealed in Pentecostal sermons, how modern Pentecostal preaching is defined by Pentecostals themselves, and how Pentecostal preachers have a folk epistemological approach to preparing their sermons. It also proposes a morphology for the Pentecostal experience of receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit and finally illustrates basic themes in the sermons of a Pentecostal minister.
