African Evangelicalism and the Transformation of Africa

A critical examination of the impact of Evangelical Christianity on African societies today

Evangelical Christianity's presence is increasing exponentially in African states and is exercising significant influence in virtually all spheres of life.

African Evangelicalism and the Transformation of Africa is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary study of the impact of Evangelical Christianity on Africa. It examines the social, cultural, political, and economic forces at play, and its essays address Evangelical subjectivity and identity formation in Nigeria, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other nations. Its contributors also reflect on ways that the African diaspora and transnational ties have contributed to the makeup of contemporary African Evangelicalism.

Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how Evangelical Christianity is transforming both public and private life in Africa today.
