This book is a refreshing, in-depth scholarly and empathetic analysis of Kimbanguism, a movement considered to be one of the most enduring African-initiated churches on the continent and in the African diaspora. Aurelien Mokoko Gampiot brilliantly explores how Kimbanguists engage the Bible on issues of ultimate and secular concerns, and he eloquently combines an insider's knowledge with deep scholarly insights to produce an excellent book that illuminates what the movement means today for Africans and the world at large. </p>--Jacob Olupona, author of <em>City of 201 Gods: Ile-Ife in Time, Space, and the Imagination</em></p>
