Nigerian Pentecostalism

With the changing dynamics of Christianity in an African context, it is important to recall Church History. There's much we can learn from the long history of Christian Faith. However, it appears we are living in a time where we are more ignorant of Church History than at any other point since the 16th-century reformation.

This book brings its reader up to speed with Nigerian Pentecostal History. This book endeavours to answer some important questions:
How has the belief of a handful of persecuted and frightened people in Jerusalem over two thousand years ago expanded into a worldwide faith, stronger today than ever before?
How did Nigerian Pentecostalism, a powerful force of Global Pentecostalism, begin?
How did Assemblies of God, the world's largest Pentecostal denomination start in Nigeria?
What are the fresh, spiritual, and thought-provoking insights about one of its two core native leaders, Udom Akpan?
Nigerian Pentecostalism: A Brief History and the Untold Story of Assemblies of God in Nigeria present a concise classical account of these spiritually motivating events.
This book concisely narrates the evolution of the Church from its early era through to the missionary endeavours in Nigeria, concluding with the emergence of Pentecostalism in Nigeria with particular attention on Assemblies of God.

This book is well researched and excellently written with direct references to archival records, which are not until now available to Nigerian readers.
Prof. Matthews Ojo (Church Historian, OAU, Ile-Ife)

This book is a comprehensive account of the influence the Assemblies of God has had upon the reach of Pentecostalism in Nigeria and further afield. As a UK-based church leader, I write as one who has been enriched by this book.
Pastor Howard Williams (Alive Church, Lincoln)

I strongly endorse this book and recommend it to scholars and churchmen who do ministry in contemporary global and local contexts. It is informative, educating and faith-building.
Prof. (Rev) Dapo Asaju (Bishop Theologian, Anglican Church of Nigeria)

The arguments put forward in the book and the volume of research, information, and data presented therein is a testament to the work's authenticity - well researched, articulated and organized by the author.
