This book is a pneumatological reflection on the use and abuse of
the Spirit in light of the abuse of religion within South African
Pentecostalism. Both emerging and well-established scholars of
South African Pentecostalism are brought together to reflect on
pneumatology from various approaches, which includes among others:
historical, biblical, migration, commercialisation of religion,
discernment of spirits and human flourishing. From a broader
understanding of the function of the Holy Spirit in different
streams of Pentecostalism, the argument is that this function has
changed with the emergence of the new Prophetic churches in South
Africa. This is a fascinating insight into one of the major
emerging worldwide religious movements. As such, it will be of
great interest to academics in Pentecostal Studies, Christian
Studies, Theology, and Religious Studies as well as African Studies
and the Sociology of Religion.
