Produktbeschreibung

Although African scholars have made a significant contribution to the study of African Pentecostalism, very few studies have reflected on their output. Most of the contemporary publications on the widespread phenomenon of African Pentecostalism create the impression that only scholars from the Global North have contributed to the field. This volume addresses the lacuna in the available scholarship by undertaking detailed analyses of how African scholars from diverse academic disciplines and African/Diasporan context have helped to shape the field. The included chapters engage in methodological debates on African scholars and African Pentecostalism, highlighting the various areas where African scholars have made (and are continuing to make) a contribution. Further, the volume provides fresh data on new themes and perspectives in the field.

Ezra Chitando is a Professor of History and Phenomenology of Religion at the University of Zimbabwe, and World Council of Churches Theology Consultant on HIV and AIDS in Africa.

Lovemore Togarasei is a Professor of Religious Studies at the Zimbabwe Open University, Zimbabwe.

Loreen Maseno is a Senior Lecturer at Maseno University, Kenya
