“…Similarly, the focus on Pentecostal architectures complements literatures that have begun to examine the role of infrastructure and “spatiality” in the reproduction of urban religion (see Becci et al, 2013; Burchardt, 2019; Garbin, 2012; Knott et al, 2016; Müller, 2019). In doing so, this article joins in on rising literature on Pentecostalism 5 as an urban signifier (see, for instance, Lanz & Oosterbaan, 2016; Ukah, 2016).…”

This article examines Pentecostal architecture as an expression and apparatus of “Pentecostal power.” Referencing the “new” auditorium of the Deeper Christian Life Ministries in Gbagada, Lagos, the article analyzes the “architecturations”—expressions, materializations, and activations through iconic Pentecostal buildings—of Pentecostalism’s spatial, political, corporeal, symbolic, and economic power. This article coins and develops the concept of architecturations of Pentecostal power by predominantly undergirding it with Bourdieu’s conceptual tripartite of field, habitus, and capital. It contributes to embryonic sociology of Pentecostal architecture against a backdrop of its relative neglect in the literatures that have begun to recount Pentecostalism as an urban signifier.

This article traces the history of the material study of American Protestantism from the 1980s to today. In the 1980s, a few scholars of American religions started to incorporate material culture studies into their work. They examined religious images, objects, places, and practices according to new interdisciplinary methods. By the mid‐1990s, the material study of American Protestantism exploded and emerged as a distinct subfield in the study of American religions. This subfield gave way to four general approaches, including studying American Protestantism as print culture, visual culture, material sensations, and new materialism. This article also presents themes that invigorate the subfield today, such as studying presence in Protestantism, texts as objects, the agency of objects, Black religious experiences, gender and sexuality, and cross‐cultural encounters. It concludes by offering insights into the influences and challenges of the subfield, as well as areas in the subfield that invite more research.
