In fact, the pandemic propelled the church to work alongside the state in the fight against the disease. Using interviews and historical analysis, this book provides valuable insight into how Pentecostal and Charismatic churches have effectively engaged matters of civic concern in Zambia dating from colonial times.

Rezensionen
"Naar M'fundisi-Holloway's Pentecostal and Charismatic Spiritualties and Civic Engagement in Zambia is a well researched examination of the historical journey of the Zambian Pentecostal/Charismatic church's efforts at civic engagement from 1964 to 2012. ... this text is a worthy project which narrates the transition of the Zambian church from viewing civic engagement with suspicion to it becoming a major player in the social welfare of the nation."
