This book critically examines contemporary Pentecostalism in South
Africa and its influence on some of the countries that surround it.
Pentecostalism plays a significant role in the religious life of
this region and so evaluating its impact is key to understanding
how religion functions in Twenty-First Century Africa. Beginning
with an overview of the roots of Pentecostalism in Southern Africa,
the book moves on to identify a current "fourth" wave of this form
of Christianity. It sets out the factors that have given rise to
this movement and then offers the first academic evaluation of its
theology and practice. Positive aspects as well as extreme or
negative practices are all identified in order to give a balanced
and nuanced assessment of this religious group and allow the reader
to gain valuable insight into how it interacts with wider African
society. This book is cutting-edge look at an emerging form of one
of the fastest-growing religions in the world. It will, therefore,
be of great use to scholars working in Pentecostalism, Theology,
Religious Studies and African Religion as well as African Studies
more generally.
