| Summary: | Gerardo Marti's Hollywood Faith examines how a Pentecostal church brings together two worlds that are often seen at odds with one another: conservative Christianity and the Hollywood entertainment industry. In a very readable style, Marti substantiates his narrative through a year's worth of ethnographic fieldwork and 50 in-depth interviews, employing a Durkheimian lens of analysis to his findings., Located just blocks from the Walk of Fame, Oasis Christian Center is not only tolerant of its Hollywood neighbors, but the church designs its ministries specifically for those seeking or employed in entertainment careers. |
