| Summary: | Moral discourses pertaining to gender and sexuality in Africa are certainly shaped by various religious norms and cultural beliefs, and for more than a decade, Pentecostalism has emerged as a primary area of research focus on this subject.1 The particular book under review fits within the ever-expanding body of literature on the intersections between African Pentecostalism, gender, and sexuality.
