520 This book investigates the substantial and growing
contribution which African Independent and Pentecostal
Churches are making to sustainable development in all its
manifold forms. Moreover, this volume seeks to elucidate
how these churches reshape the very notion of sustainable
development and contribute to the decolonisation of
development. Fostering both overarching and comparative
perspectives, the book includes chapters on West Africa
(Nigeria, Ghana, and Burkina Faso) and Southern Africa
(Zimbabwe and South Africa). It aims to open up a subfield
focused on African Initiated Christianity within the
religion and development discourse, substantially
broadening the scope of the existing literature. Written
predominantly by scholars from the African continent, the
chapters in this volume illuminate potentials and
perspectives of African Initiated Christianity, combining
theoretical contributions, essays by renowned church
leaders, and case studies focusing on particular churches
or regional contexts. While the contributions in this book
focus on the African continent, the notion of development
underlying the concept of the volume is deliberately wide
and multidimensional, covering economic, social,
ecological, political, and cultural dimensions. Therefore,
the book will be useful for the community of scholars
interested in religion and development as well as
researchers within African studies, anthropology,
development studies, political science, religious studies,
sociology of religion, and theology. It will also be a key
resource for development policymakers and practitioners.
