Abstract
[In recounting the growth of Pentecostalism in sub-Saharan Africa, with particular reference to South Africa, Anderson’s book demonstrates that this process has been shaped both by Pentecostalism’s continuity with African cultural beliefs and its confrontation with and discontinuities from those beliefs. Most previous studies, conducted by scholars of anthropology, theology, and religious studies, stress the continuity of Pentecostalism with local traditional cultures. This book fills a research gap by highlighting discontinuities between Pentecostalism and the same traditional local cultures, without dismissing their interconnections.]
