Pentecostalism and Politics in Africa Summary

Pentecostalism and Politics in Africa by Adeshina Afolayan

As the epicenter of Christianity has shifted towards Africa in recent decades, Pentecostalism has emerged as a particularly vibrant presence on the continent. This collection of essays offers a groundbreaking study of the complex links between politics and African Pentecostalism. Situated at the intersection between the political, the postcolonial, and global neoliberal capitalism, contributors examine the roots of the Pentecostal movement's extraordinary growth; how Pentecostalism intervenes in key social and political issues, such as citizenship, party politics, development challenges, and identity; and conversely, how politics in Africa modulate the Pentecostal movement. Pentecostalism and Politics in Africa offers a wide-ranging picture of a central dimension of postcolonial African life, opening up new directions for future research.

Pentecostalism and Politics in Africa Reviews

This remarkable collection of nineteen essays aims at widening perspectives on the socio-political profiles of the Pentecostal movement in sub-Saharan Africa. ... The editors have put together a strong palimpsest of case-studies on Pentecostal notions and practices of politics placing the theme centre-stage in further Pentecostal studies and making it a useful reference source. (Andreas Heuser, PentecoStudies, Vol. 19 (2), 2020)
