Summary: The best book about christianity in Africa today
Comment: An excelleny book for anyone intressted in christianity in Africa today. Much has been writen about the growth of the pentecostal and charismatic churches in in Latin America but this is the first book I have read that also gives a good picture of this churches in Africa. Gifford describes the churches in four diffrent countries (Ghana, Uganda, Zambia and Cameroon)with a lot of details wich makes the book very alive and intressting to read. The best part of the book is when he describes the teologi of Mesna Otabil. This realy gave me new insight to both the problems for African christians and the ways of trying to solve them. I think Gifford ends the book to pesemistict but he has realy showed that that the churches in Africa have a roll to play in development for the of the society in this countries. The only question is if they are going to suceed.
