"Many are those who seek to understand Pentecostal theology where it is predominantly practised-Africa. This is what Kgatle's book attempts to address. Kgatle covers all the topics that are important to African Pentecostals; these include salvation, sanctification, Spirit baptism, healing, and eschatology. The uniqueness of the book centres on its Africanness and its integrative Pentecostal theology, which combines theory with practice. The book is essential reading for students and researchers in African Pentecostalism and contemporary religions."-Opoku Onyinah, Former Rector of Pentecost University College and Former Chairman, The Church of Pentecost "Mookgo Solomon Kgatle's Pentecostal Theology takes readers on a journey filled with twists and turns into the continuously evolving, rarely predictable and often enigmatic world of prophetic Pentecostalism to assemble an incipient 'integrative Pentecostal theology'. The book is an eye-opener and a critical contribution to the scarce resources on Pentecostal theologies in African contexts. Read this book, be informed, be empowered-and become engaged in the new conversations on African Pentecostal theologies on the way."-Chammah J.
