*Alchimie politique du miracle* examines how miracle narratives and practices of divine healing function within Pentecostal communities in Latin America. André Corten’s study treats miraculous healing not only as a religious belief, but as a form of social and political language through which communities interpret suffering, power, hope, and public life. By analyzing Pentecostal discourse, testimonies, and the cultural meanings attached to healing, the book explores the relationship between religion, collective identity, and political expression. It is a scholarly work suited to readers interested in Latin American religion, Pentecostalism, and the social dimensions of religious experience.
