Description

Product Description This book is a pneumatological reflection on the use and abuse of the Spirit in light of the abuse of religion within South African Pentecostalism. Both emerging and well-established scholars of South African Pentecostalism are brought together to reflect on pneumatology from various approaches, which includes among others: historical, biblical, migration, commercialisation of religion, discernment of spirits and human flourishing. From a broader understanding of the function of the Holy Spirit in different streams of Pentecostalism, the argument is that this function has changed with the emergence of the new Prophetic churches in South Africa. This is a fascinating insight into one of the major emerging worldwide religious movements. As such, it will be of great interest to academics in Pentecostal Studies, Christian Studies, Theology, and Religious Studies as well as African Studies and the Sociology of Religion. About the Author Mookgo S. Kgatle is Associate Professor of Missiology at the University of South Africa (UNISA). He completed his PhD (Theology) from the University of Pretoria in 2016. Kgatle is a National Research Foundation (NRF) Y-Rated researcher (2019–2024) in the area of African Pentecostalism. He is the visiting scholar at the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies-University of Birmingham (2020–2021). Kgatle has published several peer-reviewed articles in various high impact journals and the book The Fourth Pentecostal Wave in South Africa: A Critical Engagement (Routledge, 2019). Allan H. Anderson is Emeritus Professor of Mission and Pentecostal Studies at the University of Birmingham, an internationally well-known scholar in the study of worldwide Pentecostalism, with particular interest in southern Africa. He is the author of nine books (translated into four languages) and many articles, and has joint-edited four collections on global Pentecostalism.
