This book reveals inherent contradictions characteristic of new religious imaginaries, but also the hallmarks of agency, creativity, innovation, and resilience that these religious mobilities engender in the face of social change. The editors and authors tilt our critical, scholarly gaze toward unpacking emerging discourses on religious innovation and competition in Africa, and illuminate the urgency and backbreaking task of demystifying and problematizing the ambivalent import of these dynamics within contemporary African socio-religious landscapes. - Afe Adogame, Maxwell M. Upson Professor of Religion and Society, Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, USA
