What is Pentecostal and Charismatic Spiritualities and Civic Engagement in Zambia (Christianity and Renewal - Interdisciplinary Studies) about?
For the past sixty years, the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement has played a major role in Zambia. In this book, Naar Mfundisi-Holloway explains the history of this development and its impact on civic engagement. She opens a discussion on church-state relations and explains how the church presented a channel of hope in the wake of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, despite having a history that eschewed civic engagement. In fact, the pandemic propelled the church to work alongside the state in the fight against the disease. Using interviews and historical analysis, this book provides valuable insight into how Pentecostal and Charismatic churches have effectively engaged matters of civic concern in Zambia dating from colonial times. ** Review “It was my privilege to supervise Naar M'fundisi-Holloway's PhD studies out of which this book has emerged. It addresses important social issues in African societies throughout the continent. No similar study exists to my knowledge. This excellent monograph makes a very significant contribution to the study of African Pentecostalism and indeed, to understanding Christianity in southern and central Africa.” (Allan H. Anderson, University of Birmingham, U
