A New York Times Notable Book
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012

A bold option to understanding the American evangelical experience from an anthropological and psychological point of view by probably the most country’s most prominent anthropologists.
 
Through a series of intimate, illuminating interviews with quite a lot of members of the Vineyard, an evangelical church with hundreds of congregations around the country, Tanya Luhrmann leaps into the heart of evangelical faith. Combined with scientific research that studies the effect that intensely practiced prayer could have at the mind, When God Talks Back examines how normal, sensible people—from college students to accountants to housewives, all functioning perfectly well within our society—can attest to having the signs and wonders of the supernatural develop into as quotidian and as bizarre as laundry. Astute, sensitive, and extraordinarily measured in its option to the interface between science and religion, Luhrmann’s book is sure to generate as much conversation as it’ll praise.
