  • The Challenge of Syncretism in Pentecostalism and Neo-Pentecostalism, guest edited by Prof. Marius Nel (0000-0003-0304-5805) and Prof. Mookgo Solomon Kgatle (0000-0002-9556-6597). This collection contributes to the growing discourse within African Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal movements on the challenge of syncretism. By addressing how these movements can maintain doctrinal fidelity while engaging diverse cultural contexts, the collection aligns with the journal’s focus on contextual theology, spiritual formation, and the evolving expressions of Pentecostalism in Africa.
