TY - JOUR T1 - God is Big in Africa: Pentecostal Mega Churches and a Changing Religious Landscape JF - Material Religion Y1 - 2019 A1 - Asamoah-Gyadu, J. Kwabena AB - African megachurches may be roughly typlogised into four broad subsets: the prosperity, the Healing/Deliverance, the Personal Empowerment and Apostolic Teaching, and the Prophetic-Healing types. These types share two important features among themselves, the enchantment of popular imagination through the production and dissemination of miracles and the sacredness of, and obsession with, numbers. While African megachurches constitute powerful (political) republics of their own, building impression socioeconomic, or sacred, corporations, they are yet to translate their newfound resources into critical political culture and strategies to produce common goods for the entire African society.
