Abstract
This text is a review of the recent trends in the study of contemporary African Christianity, and, particularly, Pentecostalism and Charismatic Churches. It focuses on four recent books studying the agenda of Pentecostalism, the reasons of their success, and their role as civil society agents tackling the social issues in contemporary Africa.
