Under the leadership of William F. P. Burton and James Salter, the
Congo Evangelistic Mission (CEM) grew from a simple faith movement
founded in 1915 into one of the most successful classical
Pentecostal missions in Africa, today boasting more than one
million members in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Drawing on
artifacts, images, documents, and interviews, David Maxwell
examines the roles of missionaries and their African
collaborators-the Luba-speaking peoples of southeast Katanga-in
producing knowledge about Africa. Through the careful
reconstruction of knowledge pathways, Maxwell brings into focus the
role of Africans in shaping texts, collections, and images as well
as in challenging and adapting Western-imported presuppositions and
prejudices. Ultimately, Maxwell illustrates the mutually
constitutive nature of discourses of identity in colonial Africa
and reveals not only how the Luba shaped missionary research but
also how these coproducers of knowledge constructed and critiqued
custom and convened new ethnic communities. Making a significant
intervention in the study of both the history of African
Christianity and the cultural transformations effected by
missionary encounters across the globe, Religious Entanglements
excavates the subculture of African Pentecostalism, revealing its
potentiality for radical sociocultural change.
Existing scholarship on World Christianities tends to privilege the
local and the regional. In addition to offering an explanation for
this tendency, the editors and contributors of this volume also
offer a new perspective. An Introduction, Afterword and
case-studies argue for the importance of transregional connections
in the study of Christianity worldwide. Returning to an older
post-war conception of 'World Christianity' as an international,
ecumenical fellowship, the present volume aims to highlight the
universalist, globalising aspirations of many Christians worldwide.
While we do not neglect the importance of the local, our aim is to
give due weight to the significant transregional networks and
exchanges that have constituted Christian communities, both
historically and in the present day. Contributors are: J. Kwabena
