This edited book offers an engaging portrait into a vital, religious movement inside this southern Africa country. It tells the story of a community of faith that is often overlooked in the region. The authors include leading scholars of religion, theology, and politics from Botswana and Zimbabwe. The insights they present will help readers understand the place of Pentecostal Christianity in this land of many religions. The chapters detail a history of the movement from its inception to the present. Chapters focus on specific Pentecostal churches, general doctrine of the movement, and the movement’s contribution to the country. The writing is deeply informed and features deep historical, theological, and sociological analysis throughout. Readers will also learn about the socio-political and economic relevance of the faith in Zimbabwe as well as the theoretical and methodological implications raised by the Pentecostalisation of society. The volume will serve as a resource book both for teaching and for those doing research on various aspects of the Zimbabwean society past, present, and future. It will be a good resource for those in schools and university and college departments of religious studies, theology, history, politics, sociology, social anthropology, and related studies. Over and above academic and research readers, the book will also be very useful to government policy makers, non-governmental organizations, and civic societies who have the Church as an important stakeholder.

Book Synopsis Church and Politics by : Enda McDonagh

The Friday Masowe apostolics of Zimbabwe refer to themselves as "the Christians who don’t read the Bible." They claim they do not need the Bible because they receive the Word of God "live and direct" from the Holy Spirit. In this insightful and sensitive historical ethnography, Matthew Engelke documents how this rejection of scripture speaks to longstanding concerns within Christianity over mediation and authority. The Bible, of course, has been a key medium through which Christians have recognized God’s presence. But the apostolics perceive scripture as an unnecessary, even dangerous, mediator. For them, the materiality of the Bible marks a distance from the divine and prohibits the realization of a live and direct faith. Situating the Masowe case within a broad comparative framework, Engelke shows how their rejection of textual authority poses a problem of presence—which is to say, how the religious subject defines, and claims to construct, a relationship with the spiritual world through the semiotic potentials of language, actions, and objects. Written in a lively and accessible style, A Problem of Presence makes important contributions to the anthropology of Christianity, the history of religions in Africa, semiotics, and material culture studies.

Does religion or more specifically, the Christian faith have a legitimate role to play in peacebuilding? Religion has in the past been known to be the cause of rather than a solution to violence. However, it is becoming widely accepted, even in political circles, as having a positive role to play and more opportunities are being accorded to religious institutions and leaders to play key roles in addressing issues of violence. Organisations like USIP have played a leading role in engaging religion in peacebuilding efforts globally. The Church's responsibility is not just a spiritual one. Issues of social justice and speaking on behalf of the downtrodden and poor form part of its mandate (Micah 6:8). The Church in Zimbabwe, like the Church elsewhere has had to struggle to determine what role it should play in the Zimbabwean crisis. Perhaps not so much in Theological debates but in its praxis of the Gospel. Unlike the Church in South Africa, the Zimbabwean Church has not been deliberate in enunciating it theological basis for action, but with every crisis, it has found itself being forced to play a proactive role in peacebuilding.
