Abstract: | Pentecostal studies has been one of the most vibrant areas of research in Africa for over twenty years, but is it time to start looking past Pentecostalism? Using some of the most important work in this tradition as a point of departure, this article offers both a critique of and supplement to the Pentecostal literature. It focuses in particular on how the relationship between Pentecostalism and African Independency should be understood by pushing the debates on how to frame their oft-shared desire to 'break with the past'. Every rupture is also a realignment and how each is conceptualized and understood is a matter not only of discourse but decisions and dilemmas faced in everyday life. The author provides some examples from his research on the Friday apostolics in Zimbabwe. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. in English and French. [Journal abstract] |
