African Pentecostal Political Philosophy: New Directions in the Study of Pentecostalism and Politics. 330 $aAs the epicenter of Christianity has shifted towards Africa in recent decades, Pentecostalism has emerged as a particularly vibrant presence on the continent. This collection of essays offers a groundbreaking study of the complex links between politics and African Pentecostalism. Situated at the intersection between the political, the postcolonial, and global neoliberal capitalism, contributors examine the roots of the Pentecostal movement?s extraordinary growth; how Pentecostalism intervenes in key social and political issues, such as citizenship, party politics, development challenges, and identity; and conversely, how politics in Africa modulate the Pentecostal movement. Pentecostalism and Politics in Africa offers a wide-ranging picture of a central dimension of postcolonial African life, opening up new directions for future research. 410 0$aAfrican Histories and Modernities,$x2634-5773 606 $aAfrica?History 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aEthnology?Africa 606 $aAfrican History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000 606 $aAfrican Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090 606 $aPolitics and Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911250 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 606 $aAfrican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411030 615 0$aAfrica?History. 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aEthnology?Africa. 615 14$aAfrican History. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 676 $a270.82 702 $aAfolayan$b Adeshina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYacob-Haliso$b Olajumoke$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFalola$b Toyin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299812103321 996 $aPentecostalism and Politics in Africa$92531510 997 $aUNINA
