Description
The Pentecostal movement has become one of the fastest-growing religious movements in contemporary world Christianity. Its expansion in Africa and the African Diaspora is a significant aspect of globalization, yet its nature remains fluid and elastic. This raises questions about the distinct identity of Pentecostalism within Christianity. A growing body of research seeks to understand the why and how of Pentecostal expansion, its relative success, and its impact on world Christianity. The book "Who is Afraid of the Holy Ghost?" provides a scholarly analysis of these dynamic movements and processes, exploring their effects not only in Africa but also globally. As Pentecostalism continues to grow and shape Christianity's interaction with other religions, this study offers valuable insights for historians, social scientists, theologians, and policymakers. The book's title, "Who is Afraid of the Holy Ghost?", encapsulates its central themes and discourses, inviting readers to consider the implications of Pentecostalism in an era of global insecurity and uncertainty.
