Abstract

[The most theological of the chapters in this book, an examination of power in Africa, how it was and is perceived, how it is the “life force” that every human needs, and how it is interpreted and transformed in African Christianity. An exploration is made of the role of the Spirit in African Pentecostalism and how the discontinuous power given by the Holy Spirit provides the ability to surmount the pressures of a prevalent and continuous spirit-filled world. Biblical precedents of Spirit manifestations and concepts of power and the Spirit are compared with the findings of this study.]
