Review of Ubuntu Pentecostalism: The Dialectics of Faith and Community in Africa (2nd Edition) by Modisa Mzondi

Dr Abraham Modisa Mzondi is a scholar and pastor with two doctoral degrees (Theology and Religious Studies) from the University of Johannesburg, specialising in Ubuntu, African theology, and Pentecostalism, and serving as a Senior Lecturer and Supervisor at the South African Theological Seminary (SATS) In Ubuntu Pentecostalism, Mzondi engages two angular concepts in the South African church experience with apt detail. He uses the explicit conversation of ubuntu and Pentecostalism not to conceal his furtive shibboleth but as his way of self-identification, signalling his loyalty and affinity. He, therefore, maintains traditional segregation and protects his valuable religious tradition from ecclesiastical or academic threats.
