| Σύνοψη: | Pentecostal worship is widely studied with but little attention given to its link with a spirituality of liberation. This article uses literary analysis to demonstrate that African Pentecostal Worship (hereafter APW) is an expression of a spirituality of liberation with implications for Black theology. In order to achieve this, the article introduces Black theology within the theoretical framework of a spirituality of liberation. APW, an African style of worship, is discussed in relation to African Pentecostalism and Blackness. Three aspects of APW are discussed; a Spirit of liberation, the music of liberation and the sermons of liberation to illustrate their connection to a Spirituality of liberation. This Spirituality of liberation in APW has some implications for Black theology as it challenges Black theologians to incorporate African Pentecostalism in their studies. Therefore, Black theologians can no longer ignore the contribution of African Pentecostalism to the development of Black theology in Africa. |
