Nigeria's Christian Revolution

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the revival among the Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria, this book explores a significant religious movement that emerged from the Nigerian civil war and evolved into new Pentecostal churches. It examines the interplay between local sociopolitical and economic changes, including decolonization and modernization, and the global influences shaping this religious transformation. By documenting the movement's responses to both local demands and global trends, it offers insights into the nature of revivalist and Pentecostal experiences in contemporary Nigeria.
