Moreover, this volume seeks to elucidate how these churches reshape the very notion of sustainable development and contribute to the decolonisation of development. Fostering both overarching and comparative perspectives, the book includes chapters on West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, and Burkina Faso) and Southern Africa (Zimbabwe and South Africa). It aims to open up a subfield focused on African Initiated Christianity within the religion and development discourse, substantially broadening the scope of the existing literature. Written predominantly by scholars from the African continent, the chapters in this volume illuminate potentials and perspectives of African Initiated Christianity, combining theoretical contributions, essays by renowned church leaders, and case studies focusing on particular churches or regional contexts.Routledge Research in Religion and DevelopmentSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / GeneralbisacshReligion / Christian ChurchbisacshSocial Science / Developing & Emerging CountriesbisacshSocial sciencesSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / GeneralReligion / Christian ChurchSocial Science / Developing & Emerging CountriesSocial sciences.Öhlmann PhilippGräb WilhelmFrost Marie-LuiseScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910917301303321African Initiated Christianity and the Decolonisation of Development4319447UNINA
