Review: “A Critical Analysis of Pentecostalism and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa” By Bednicho Nyoni

The article "A Critical Analysis of Pentecostalism and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa" by Bednicho Nyoni, delves into the complex relationship between Pentecostalism, particularly newPentecostal/Charismatic Mega Churches, and sustainable development in the context of sub-SaharanAfrica. The author highlights the manner in which these churches have created power structures that hinder Indigenous Africans from shaping their own futures for sustainable development, instead of keeping them confined in a cycle of poverty and dependence on charismatic leaders promising miracles and prosperity.
