Decolonial Pentecostalism: A PostNicene Theology from Africa

Autor Chammah J. Kaunda
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 noi 2026
The book presents a bold and transformative exploration of how Pentecostal theology can be revitalized by critically engaging with the Nicene Creed through the lens of African spirituality and decolonial thought.

In an era marked by profound cultural exchanges and theological diversification, Kaunda challenges traditional Nicene faith and calls for a new approach that reflects the pluralistic realities of the 21st century. Rooted in the rich metaphysical and philosophical traditions of the Bemba people of Zambia, the book critiques the classical dualistic interpretations of Christian theology, which have long emphasized divisions between the sacred and secular, material and spiritual, human and nonhuman.

Through a decolonial framework, this powerful work seeks to dismantle these entrenched dualisms and reintroduce an integrated approach to faith, one that embraces the interconnectedness of all things. African indigenous concepts are central to this reimagining of Nicene Christianity. It demonstrates how Pentecostalism, with its emphasis on the Spirit's dynamic presence, can speak powerfully to issues such as gender relations, ecological crises, power dynamics, and the lived realities of African communities. Grounding theological reflection in the lived experiences and cultural contexts of African Pentecostal believers, Kaunda reveals a more holistic, contextually resonant, and responsive form of Christian theology.

Recenzii

This book challenges the dominance of Western theological paradigms, offering a vibrant and insightful re-imagination of Christian faith from an African Pentecostal perspective. Drawing on the wisdom of indigenous concepts like 'Na-nyi-na,' Kaunda articulates a 'PostNicene theology' that is both deeply rooted in African soil and universally resonant. This is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of global Christianity, decolonial studies, and the intersection of faith and culture. A truly transformative and courageous work.
Kaunda has staged African Christianity as a generative space for reimagining Nicene theology. This is a light-bearing book to lighten classical theological formulations and shine the glory of African theology (or theology from Africa). The work is a perichoretic dance of ideas that negotiates, contests, rediscovers, and renews the core Christian Nicaean doctrinal identity. Kaunda is a marvelous thinker-boldly and precisely firing the theo-imaginations of the global theological academy.
