• This article finds its focus in David Martin’s Forbidden Revolutions: Pentecostalism in Latin America and Catholicism in Eastern Europe , a short but prescient book published in 1996. In it, David explores the failure of sociology to appreciate forms of religion that transgress Western expectations. Not only does he reveal their importance for the sociological agenda, but underlines their significance both in the lives of countless individuals in Latin America and in the transformations of Eastern Europe in 1989. The final section of the article places the book in a longer trajectory of Martin’s publications.
