Recenzii
'African Pilgrimage takes you deep inside another world, that of South Africa's Zion Christian Church (ZCC), a flourishing variety of African-initiated Christianity that few scholars of World Christianity will ever know as intimately as Müller does. Zoom down the hot highway in his 'bakkie' full of pilgrims on their way into rural Limpopo Province, headed for Moria, the ZCC's holy city, and you feel that you are right there with him. On the way, you experience participant-observer field research and all its confusion, comic awkwardness, and clarity. Altogether, a memorable contribution, methodologically, to the study of World and African Christianity!' Richard Fox Young, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA 'This is a rich and stimulating book, one of the best in recent years on the important sector of Christianity that it describes. Africa is one of the principal theatres for the development of contemporary Christianity, and the author sets this African Christian movement within the history of religion as a whole. Particularly engaging is his use of the category of pilgrimage to illuminate what is happening; we sense the transformation of the world in the experience of these multitudes of migrant workers from the modern urban and industrial world as they stand upon their own Mount Moriah and witness the power of God there. The author's evident humanity, sympathy, and preparedness for personal involvement are refreshing, and provide more insight than many analyses determinedly clothed in academic abstraction.' Andrew F. Walls, University of Edinburgh and Liverpool Hope University, UK '[Müller’s] insight into the considerable political impact specifically of urban ZCC pilgrimages bears the contours of a fresh discourse on the public theology of Zionist Christianity in a society in transition.' African Studies Quarterly 'Müller engages the dichotomous ways that scholars frame African Christianity. He suggests an alternative trajectory that moves beyond the W
