In eleven short years, from 1918 to 1929, Faith Tabernacle
Congregation, a small divine healing church in Philadelphia, spread
over the Guinea Coast, garnering over 250 branches and nearly
11,000 members without ever sending missionaries from the United
States. Communications were made solely through the exchange of
literature, letters, money, and the occasional radiogram across the
Atlantic. This rapid expanse constituted a great revival: the West
African Revival.In The West African Revival, Adam Mohr compiles
historical documents from Faith Tabernacle's archive in
Philadelphia as well as several other churches that branched from
Faith Tabernacle in West Africa (mainly Ghana and Nigeria) and the
United States such as the First-Century Gospel Church, the
Apostolic Church, the Christ Apostolic Church, and the Church of
Pentecost. Writing for an audience of scholars from the fields of
African Christianity, Global Christianity, and African Studies,
Mohr engages literature from the Influenza Pandemic of 1918–1919,
African Traditional Religion (predominantly anti-witchcraft cults),
the relationship of capitalism to Christianity, political and
social conflict, and early Pentecostalism in West Africa.
Significantly, the West African Revival was the predecessor to
Pentecostalism in West Africa--Ghana and Nigeria particularly.
Mohr's findings compel scholars to rethink the historical
relationship of African indigenous churches to Pentecostalism in
West Africa in addition to the historical relationship between
South African Zionism and Nigerian Aladura.
