Contesting Heritage: Worship, Culture and Seventh-Day Adventists in a Pentecostalising Nigerian Society - Paperback

by Chigemezi Nnadozie Wogu (Author)

Positioned at the intersection of World Christianity, African religious studies, and Pentecostal-charismatic scholarship, Contesting Heritage offers a rare intra-denominational lens into the complexities of religious identity in postcolonial Africa. It challenges assumptions of sectarian withdrawal and illuminates how Adventists actively participate in-and influence-the wider Nigerian religious marketplace.
