African Reformation: African Initiated Christianity in the Twentieth Century

Allan Anderson is a specialist scholar of global Pentecostal and African independent Christianity, and this study works from documented research into African Initiated Churches, the Christian movements founded and led by Africans independently of mission church structures, tracing their theology, worship and growth across the twentieth century from that direct engagement with the movements themselves rather than from a mission perspective looking in. Use it for established scholarly facts about African Initiated Churches as a broad movement, their characteristic worship style and their historical growth; it is a survey across many such churches, so a claim needing deep doctrinal or historical detail about one specific denomination within this movement needs a source focused on that denomination alone.
