This book achieves its goal of filling gaps created by ahistoric Pentecostal philosophical approaches by remaining entrenched firmly in a movement's tradition while formulating a Pentecostal rationality.

PentecoStudies

An accessible yet astute analysis of the profound impact that popular forms of Christianity have on the political landscape in Nigeria. A key text for anyone with an interest in contemporary Christianity, democracy and politics in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.

Adriaan van Klinken, University of Leeds

A brilliant exposé of the central role of religion, particularly Pentecostalism, in Nigeria's political landscape. The narrative is gripping and the insights compelling. A must read for any student of religion and politics.

Allan H. Anderson, University of Birmingham

A must read. Clearly argued and highly informative, there is nothing quite like it on the market given its contemporary focus. Tackling questions beyond those focused on a single religious tradition, it will find an avid scholarly readership.

Brandon Kendhammer, Ohio University

The best work on religion in Nigeria that I have read in recent years. It will have a profound impact on African studies, religion and sociology.

Jacob Olupona, Harvard Divinity School

An excellent and provocative analysis of political Pentecostalism in Nigeria. Written in eminently fluid prose, the book stages a new paradigm for the study of democracy and charismatic Christianity. Quite simply, brilliant.

Nimi Wariboko, author of Nigerian Pentecostalism
