  • Witchcraft and deliverance

    David J GarrardARTICLEJournal of the European…2017

    The place, significance and possibility of demon possession of Christian believers has become especially important as a topic in Pentecostal churches during recent years; this is primarily true among groups which have strong links with African churches which have now passed on their worldviews to believers in other continents. This paper looks at the entire question from an African perspective and from actual practice in that arena which assumes …

  • The Protestant Church in Congo

    David J GarrardARTICLEJournal of Religion in Africa2013

    This paper examines the Protestant Church in Congo/Zaire during the regime of Mobutu Sese Seko. It reviews its origins as a loose affiliation of denominations during the days of the Belgian colony and the changes which came about under Bokeleale-its driving force and central figure.

  • Burton's Early Years of Ministry and Doctrine under the auspices of the PMU

    David J GarrardARTICLEJournal of the European…2012

  • Leadership versus the Congregation in the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movetnent

    David J GarrardARTICLEJournal of the European…2009

    Leadership of Pentecostal congregations has been subject to little formal theological debate. The attempt to ensure that leadership in Pentecostal congregations follows a biblical pattern has been centred on the ‘ministry gift’ concept and the assumption that such ministers are right for leaders of their congregations. This has resulted in an exaggerated respect for leaders, especially when the concept of ‘anointing’ is used to supplement a minis…
