CHURCHES IN AFRICA AND THE PROCESS OF SPREADING PENTECOSTALISM. PART 2
Abstract
The article is devoted to peculiarities of activities of local churches, primarily Pentecostal in Africa. Without denial of occult and related practices, they recognize their preaching activity to the extent that they rely on the occult, and how through God they can defeat it. This discourse is currently in contact with the particular trends caused by neoliberalists turn. As the occult coexists with modernization, the Pentecostal Church is an institution which, on the one hand, seeks to minimize problems associated with modernization, on the other, connects with its objectives and ethics.
