The article is a review of the book "Pastoral Power, Clerical State: Pentecostalism, Gender, and Sexuality in Nigeria" by Ebenezer Obadare. The book is part of a trilogy on Pentecostalism and Nigerian politics and builds on the author's previous work. It argues that military rule in Nigeria during the 1980s led to the rise of Pentecostal pastors by diminishing the authority of intellectuals. The book explores the power and influence of Pentecostal pastors in Nigerian society, particularly in relation to gender and sexuality. The author's analysis is supported by interviews, personal experiences, and media reports. The book offers unique insights into the sociopolitical and religious dynamics of Nigeria and will be valuable for scholars and students in various fields. [Extracted from the article] |
