Sammendrag
I want to prepare an understanding of why Pentecostalism seems to be so attractive in
Africa. I will outline Ogbu Kalu's understanding of a resonance between African traditional culture
and Pentecostalism, and then add perspectives from other African scholars.
And the research problem follows:
How can we understand the appropriation of Pentecostalism in Africa in light of Ogbu
Kalu?
Research questions will be:
In what way do Pentecostalism and African traditional culture resonate?
Are there confrontations between African traditional culture and Pentecostalism?
