African Pentecostalism: v. I: Global Discourses, Migrations, Exchanges and Connections: The Collected Essays of Ogbu Uke Kalu

By Ogbu Kalu

Book Overview

Throughout his lifetime, Kalu researched profusely, argued trenchantly, thought and taught powerfully to change how African Pentecostalism is portrayed, arguing that its roots lie just as much within traditional African religions as they do within Christianity. This collection of 16 essays, edited by his widow, among others, clearly show that he not only corrected distorted scholarship, but also altered the way Africa in general was portrayed in Western academia.
