Presents a multidisciplinary study of how Nigerian pentecostals conceive of and engage with a spirit-filled world, arguing that the character of the movement is defined through an underlying "spell of the invisible." This book presents a multidisciplinary study of how Nigerian Pentecostals conceive of and engage with a spirit-filled world. It seeks to discern the spirituality of the charismatic religious movement in Nigeria in relation to issues of politics, national sovereignty, economic development, culture, racial identity, gender, social ethics, and epistemology. Nimi Wariboko describes the faith's core beliefs and practices, revealing a "spell of the invisible" that defines not only the character of the movement but also believers' ways of seeing, being, and doing. Written by an insider to the tradition, Nigerian Pentecostalism will also engage outsiders with an interest in criticalsocial theory, political theory, and philosophy. Nimi Wariboko is the Katherine B. Stuart Professor of Christian Ethics at Andover Newton Theological School, Newton, Massachusetts.

Reviews for Nigerian Pentecostalism (Rochester Studies in African History and the Diaspora)
[A] vibrant study certainly gives scholars a new field for investigation and this book will blaze a trail for years to come.
AFRICA
[A] captivating read to anybody from theologians (whether Penetcostal, Nigerian, both, or neither) to anthropologists and political scientists engaged in research about Nigerian Pentecostalism.
PENTECOSTUDIES
This excellent and theoretically innovative volume extends and critically complicates the fast expanding literature on the Pentecostal revival in Africa. . . . Wariboko has written an absorbing and philosophically rigorous book, one that is destined to become a major point of reference in Pentecostal studies for years to come.
JOURNAL OF MODERN AFRICAN STUDIES
I found [Wariboko's] book a highly stimulating treatise of Pentecostalism that I would recommend to anyone working in the field.
ANTHROCYBIB
Achieving its ambitious goal, 'to refocus thinking on the intellectual aspect of the Pentecostal experience' (256), this work displays the fruits of Wariboko's reflexive, philosophical study.
