African Pentecostalism: An Introduction
Ogbu Kalu
In this book, Ogbu Kalu provides the first ever overview of Pentecostalism in Africa. He shows the amazing diversity of the faith, which flourishes in many different forms in diverse local contexts. While most people believe that Pentecostalism was brought to Africa and imposed on its people by missionaries, Kalu argues emphatically that this is not the case. Throughout the book, he demonstrates that African Pentecostalism is distinctly African in character, notimported from the West. With an even-handed approach, Kalu presents the religion's many functions in African life. The only book to offer a comprehensive look at African Pentecostalism, this study touches upon the movement's identity, the role of missionaries, media and popular culture, women,ethics, Islam, and immigration. The resulting work will prove invaluable to anyone interested in Christianity outside the West.
