Pentecostal Hermeneutics and the Commercialization of the Gospel Message in Nigeria

Abstract

The call by Jesus to preach the gospel to every nation is a holistic assignment for every believer. This assignment is dynamic and has resulted to various interpretations and applications in different parts of the world. In Nigeria, Pentecostal movements seem to have burst into the scene challenging the temper of Christian practice, devotional bastions, revered politics, liturgies, and muted or liberalized dimensions of Christian ethics.
