Does Religion Make a Difference?: Religious NGOs in International Development Collaboration
Religions are increasingly being regarded as relevant partners in international development cooperation due to their special attributes. However, to date there has been little research into what the special attributes of religious development agencies actually are or how such organisations employ them. What resources do religious NGOs draw on in development cooperation? How do such NGOs differ from other development agencies? Does their engagemen…
Faith-Based Organizations in Development Discourses and Practice
Exploring faith-based organizations (FBOs) in current developmental discourses and practice, this book presents a selection of empirical in-depth case-studies of Christian FBOs and assesses the vital role credited to FBOs in current discourses on development.Examining the engagement of FBOs with contemporary politics of development, the contributions stress the agency of FBOs in diverse contexts of development policy, both local and global. It is…

Encoding Caesar’s Realm – Variants of Spiritual Warfare Politics in Africa
This chapter presents an argument that leans on Yong's understanding of spiritual warfare as a political practice that aims at winning realm. The approach is to contextualize Pentecostal theologies and practices of spiritual warfare within specific political cultures. It provides a historical treatment of the Pentecostal entrance into the world of politics in Africa, an entrance that occurred alongside significant theological renewals. The chapte…
Text and Authority in the South African Nazaretha Church, written by Joel Cabrita
Disjunction–Conjunction–Disillusionment
In Pentecostal political theology in Africa, there has been a movement from Pentecostal disjunction from state and society towards conjunction on governance levels. This eventually led to disillusionment with Pentecostal policymaking, both within African Pentecostal milieus and public discourses. The entrance of Pentecostal actors onto the political stage in African countries dates back to the transformative years from 1989 to 1993, in which demo…
Pastures of Plenty: Tracing Religio-Scapes of Prosperity Gospel in Africa and Beyond
Prosperity Gospel, a controversial strand in global Christianity, relates material wealth to divine blessing. Originating in American Pentecostal milieus, it is most successful in Africa. Authors from four continents present interdisciplinary, multi-sited and comparative analyses of Prosperity Gospel in Africa and beyond. Prosperity theologies adapt to varied political contexts and travel outside Pentecostalism into the wider religious arena. Its…
Africa always brings us something new: A historiography of African Zionist and Pentecostal Christianities
This article outlines and interrogates the historiography, major debates, critical works, and typological disputes in the study of African Zionist and African Pentecostal Christianities. We contend that despite the many valid historiographic and typological critiques advanced in recent decades, the categories of Zionist and Pentecostal continue to retain validity and utility to scholars and practitioners alike
Transnational Construction and Local Imagination of "Crusade Christianity"
This article focuses on a transnational urban crusade by a British representative of Pentecostal-type Christianity in 2006 in Kumasi, Ghana. Such mass-evangelism events have helped shape a new religious topography in most African countries since the mid-1980s. An integral part of the religious landscape, they accompany a "Pentecostalization" of African Christianity. This case study analyzes the interplay between international theological discours…

Gendered Leadership in South African Churches: Case Studies of African Instituted Churches and the Dutch Reformed Church
Memory Tales: Representations of Shembe in the Cultural Discourse of African Renaissance
The discourse on African Renaissance in South Africa shapes the current stage of a post-apartheid political culture of memory. One of the frameworks of this negotiation of the past is the representation of religion. In particular, religious traditions that formerly occupied a marginalised status in Africanist circles are assimilated into a choreography of memory to complement an archive of liberation struggle. With respect to one of the most infl…
