Pentecostalism is a growing movement in world Christianity.
However, the growth of Pentecostalism in South Africa has faced
some challenges, including the abuse of religion by some prophets.
This book first names these prophets and the churches they lead in
South Africa, and then makes use of literary and media analysis to
analyse the religious practices by the prophets in relation to
cultism. Additionally, the book analyses the "celebrity cult" and
how it helps promote the prophets in South Africa. The purpose of
this book is threefold: First, to draw parallels between the abuse
of religion and cultism. Second, to illustrate that it is cultic
tendencies, including the celebrity cult, that has given rise to
many prophets in South Africa. Last, to showcase that the challenge
for many of these prophets is that the Pentecostal tradition is
actually anti-cultism, and thus there is a need for them to rethink
their cultic tendencies in order for them to be truly relevant in a
South African context.
