This book makes a significant contribution to the study of African Pentecostalism, by reflecting on their output. Deviating from the widespread phenomenon of scholars from the Global North being dominant voices on African Pentecostalism, this volume brings together African scholars from diverse academic disciplines and African/Diasporan to showcase how they’ve helped to shape the field. This volume addresses the lacuna in the available scholarship by undertaking detailed analyses of how scholarship and exemplifies the various areas where African scholars have made and continue to make contributions. The included chapters engage in methodological debates on African Pentecostalism from the continent as well as from African diaspora, and is a must read for scholars working on Pentecostalism.
