African Pentecostalism and World Christianity

Evangelism & Missions

“African Pentecostalism is unreservedly a major bondholder in the vertical and horizontal mobility of Christianity in Africa, but also in the African diaspora. Although not a sole player, yet its profoundest impact is perhaps in the pentecostalization of Christianity. Through his versatile, interdisciplinary scholarship, Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu as the Osofo of indigenous Pentecostal theology and a doyen of Pentecostal pneumatology and renewal makes superb etic contributions towards inserting Ghanaian (African) Pentecostalism within global maps of Christianity.”

Introducing Christian Theologies, Volume One

Theology

“The author, a budding African theologian, brings fresh, robust insights into Christian theology, prioritizing the voices of non-Western theologies in tandem with mainstream theologies, thus bringing them into the global academic limelight. One merit of Introducing Christian Theologies is its pedadogical value and the all-embracing themes and topics. This is a must-read for all those interested in grasping the breadth and richness of the 'theological face' of global Christianity in the twenty-first century.”

Marakwet

World Religions

“This rich ethnographic narrative of Marakwet is set against the backdrop of the intersectionality of religious and cultural identity. Such a robust religio-cultural tapestry bears eloquent testimony to the urgency in relearning and retelling indigenous cosmological, mythical, ritual traditions and their interface with colonial and Christian missionary imaginaries. By combining archival resources with ethnography, the book unpacks the religious and theological constellations such a dynamic intercourse engenders.”
