This book examines the contributions, both intentional and unintentional, of Nigerian Pentecostal churches and NGOs to development, studying their development practices broadly in relation to the intersecting spheres of politics, economics, health, education, human rights, and peacebuilding. In sub-Saharan Africa, Pentecostalism is fast becoming the dominant expression of Christianity, but while the growth and civic engagement of these churches has been well documented, their role in development has received less attention. The Nigerian Pentecostal landscape is one of the most vibrant in Africa. Churches are increasingly assuming more prominent roles as they seek to address the social and moral ills of contemporary society, often in fierce competition with Islam for dominance in Nigerian public space. Some scholars suggest that the combination of an enchanted worldview, an emphasis on miracles and prosperity teaching, and a preoccupation with evangelism discourages effective political engagement and militates against development. However, Nigerian Pentecostalism and Development argues that there is an emerging movement within contemporary Nigerian Pentecostalism which is becoming increasingly active in development practices. This book goes on to explore the increasingly transnational approach that churches take, often seeking to build multicultural congregations around the globe, for instance in Britain and the United States. Nigerian Pentecostalism and Development: Spirit, Power, and Transformation will be of considerable interest to scholars and students concerned with the intersection between religion and development, and to development practitioners and policy-makers working in the region.

This book takes a swipe on Nigerian Pentecostalism but argues that in spite of the avalanche of criticisms, there are positive contributions which can be veritable data for further interrogation of the claims of Nigerian Pentecostalism on development. Many scholars have criticised rather profusely the Pentecostal movement for its ostentatious lifestyle as the only valid criterion to evaluate its developmental stride. While this is legitimate, it, however, does not tell the whole story. The book argues that Nigerian Pentecostalism has long realised the need to not only concentrate on the spiritual aspect of its mandate, but also on the development of the whole society in ways that all could benefit irrespective of religious, social or ethnic affiliation. From economic, sports, education, banking to health, many Nigerian Pentecostal churches have adopted interventionist approach that combines pneumatic and secular strategies in what they refer to as Christian Social Responsibility, thus filling developmental gaps created by a thoroughly corrupt government. "In this book, African scholars have gathered to dissect Nigerian Pentecostalism and perform a diagnosis of the ills that weigh it down. No wonder the book answers some of the most pertinent questions on Pentecostalism in Africa.... It shows that Pentecostal Christianity is fast becoming of age in Nigeria. The long-desired self-critique that shapes the argument of this book itself feels like a Pentecostal miracle." Dr. Harvey Kwiyani - Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool "The book is a welcome and very timely Nigerian contribution on topics that need to be on the African and global theological agenda. What I liked about it, is the fact that it is an honest and critical analysis of the inherent identity of Nigerian Pentecostalism in relation to the plight of poverty and many other challenges that question the depth and influence of Christianity in the African continent in general but in Nigeria in particular.

Ever so often a book comes along that I feel should have been written years ago, and this book is one of them. As a Christian who found faith in Nigeria in the 80s, I was intrigued by stories about 'God Generals", those men and women that led 20th century revivals across the world (most of them in the West). Now I have in my hands, a book that shares some of the stories of some of my fellow countrymen who shaped the faith landscape in Nigeria. I am really impressed with the diversity of the leaders identified and the depth of the research undertaken. This book, in my view, should be a must read for anyone interested in origins of Pentecostalism in Nigeria. Keno Ogbo, Co-editor, The Black Church in the 21st Century "The Lord joined us to the ministry of Benson Idahosa for 20 years and we saw firsthand the reality and power of the gospel in Africa that has touched the world. The Lord's sovereign work in the continent is going to impact the globe for generations to come. Thank God for the African church of Jesus Christ. Millions of strong and faithful believers are coming forth at this critical time as God builds His church." Dr Kent & Ruth Hodge, President of Christian Faith Institute, Jos, Nigeria. Christianity has been recognised to be a growing religion in Sub Sahara Africa. The expression of Christianity that is expanding in Africa is Pentecostalism. One reason for this growth is the renewal factor which has engulfed the whole continent. Nigeria is one of the countries that has and is still experiencing revival that is contributing to local and global Christianity. What is the origin of Pentecostalism in Nigeria? What contributions did the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa make to the Pentecostal scene in Africa? Why is RCCG one of the fastest growing Churches in the World? This book considers the history of Pentecostalism in Nigeria by looking at the pioneering efforts of men and women who laid the foundation of the Movement.

The Holy Spirit is a sine qua non in the life of the church and in all Christian life and experience. The importance of the experiential and praxis-oriented theology of the Charismatic Renewal and Pentecostalism cannot be overemphasized in the realization of the potentials of a Spirit-animated church. In fact, Charismatic Renewal in the Nigerian Catholic Church is an essential part of the changing face of the Catholic Church in Nigeria. This work is, therefore, using Charismatic and Pentecostal theology and praxes to argue for the renewal of the Nigerian Catholic Church. It avers that the praxis-oriented and experiential theology of the Charismatics and Pentecostals, which characterize them as Spirit-filled groups and churches, are enabling the Nigerian Catholic Church to realize the potentials of a Spirit-driven church. It upholds that the Nigeria Catholic Church through the Nigerian Catholic Charismatic Renewal, which is an indispensable part of the changing face of the Catholic Church in Nigeria, has wittingly or unwittingly begun the renewal of her pneumatological, ecclesiological, and liturgical doctrines and practices in accord with those of a truly Spirit-animated church.

With the changing dynamics of Christianity in an African context, it is important to recall Church History. There's much we can learn from the long history of Christian Faith. However, it appears we are living in a time where we are more ignorant of Church History than at any other point since the 16th-century reformation. This book brings its reader up to speed with Nigerian Pentecostal History. This book endeavours to answer some important questions: How has the belief of a handful of persecuted and frightened people in Jerusalem over two thousand years ago expanded into a worldwide faith, stronger today than ever before? How did Nigerian Pentecostalism, a powerful force of Global Pentecostalism, begin? How did Assemblies of God, the world's largest Pentecostal denomination start in Nigeria? What are the fresh, spiritual, and thought-provoking insights about one of its two core native leaders, Udom Akpan? Nigerian Pentecostalism: A Brief History and the Untold Story of Assemblies of God in Nigeria present a concise classical account of these spiritually motivating events. This book concisely narrates the evolution of the Church from its early era through to the missionary endeavours in Nigeria, concluding with the emergence of Pentecostalism in Nigeria with particular attention on Assemblies of God. This book is well researched and excellently written with direct references to archival records, which are not until now available to Nigerian readers. Prof. Matthews Ojo (Church Historian, OAU, Ile-Ife) This book is a comprehensive account of the influence the Assemblies of God has had upon the reach of Pentecostalism in Nigeria and further afield. As a UK-based church leader, I write as one who has been enriched by this book. Pastor Howard Williams (Alive Church, Lincoln) I strongly endorse this book and recommend it to scholars and churchmen who do ministry in contemporary global and local contexts. It is informative, educating and faith-building. Prof. (Rev) Dapo Asaju (Bishop Theologian, Anglican Church of Nigeria) The arguments put forward in the book and the volume of research, information, and data presented therein is a testament to the work's authenticity - well researched, articulated and organized by the author. Pastor Adegboyega Talabi (Author, The Good Soldier)

"Digital Spiritualities answers many of the questions of the Christian faithful and scholars of religion about the sustainability of Christian fellowship in an era of COVID-19. Its deft analysis of the creativity of Christians on issues of online lived Pentecostalism, viz, online evangelization, online liturgy and online network formation make this book an invaluable text for scholars of African Pentecostalism. The book is a critical contribution to, and in the vanguard of, an emerging scholarship on online Christian fellowship among the African diaspora."

The coronavirus pandemic ruptured the ways things were done before it. Christian liturgy creatively migrated from the physical to the internet, the orbital wherein it sometime operated. This volume, while taking the issue of e-worship and e-mission of the Pentecostal churches seriously during the lockdown, it grounds them on empirical methods. It studies how Nigerian Pentecostal ecclesial processes were altered during the lockdown, and revisioning them in the context of the new normal. The resort to family/home fellowship as the basic unit of the church and society raises critical theological issues for a contextual Christianity. In addition, how does the Bible speak to a Christian in a new normal; does the faith of a Christian plot a graph from pre-COVID-19 through COVID-19 and perhaps beyond? As a church in the gap, how did Pentecostal Christianity in Nigeria raise theological, philosophical, social, ethical, and political questions that will for long agitate the mind when looking back to the year 2020? Why the dissonance in the health and wealth theology of Nigerian Pentecostalism - a rupture that separates wealth from health - even if momentarily? What are the implications of such a split, given the historical trajectory and (social) media sensitisation/sentimentalisation that was accorded to this particular teaching? What are the Pentecostal theatrics that characterised the lockdown? What are the theological implications of carving identity and class during the pandemic when it is unambiguous that the disease does not recognise such distinctions? These and other teething questions are pungently addressed in this volume.
