Produktbeschreibung
This book presents the dynamics of Pentecostalism and Indigenous African Religion from contemporary academic lens. This is done with the intentions of establishing how different factors interact to bring about developments in African Pentecostalism and Indigenous African Religion. In this vein, the prospects, challenges and threats to Pentecostalism and Indigenous African Religions are discussed by the contributors from different perspectives. The major theme in the book is Pentecostalism, while the influence of the autochthonous Africa's cultural values on the activities of Pentecostal organizations is the minor theme. Other issues covered in the book include the rediscovery of Africa's traditional cultural values and the role of religious leaders in sustaining the environment in Africa.
