A SPIRIT-LED CATHOLICITY? offers a fresh and, both academically and spiritually, provocative exposition on Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity through a critical documentation of one of the many movements that marked its development as a definite christian form in Nigeria. The Family of Jesus Crucified (FJC) ministry (later reorganized as the Parousian Church of Christ) founded by late Rev Dr Peter Ifeanyi Anozia graphically and expressly presents the tense and complex dynamics of its maturation as a popular charismatic revolution which is shaping a new emerging christian identity and mainstream in the context.It features a descriptive outline of the faith and practices of the FJC ministry as indicative of the creativity possible within the popular charismatic revolution.It features an analysis part which contextually and theologically plumbs the identified contents of the ministry to indicate how the pentecostal-charismatic principle renders possible continuities between the christian message and the Igbo (African) religious imagination in the actual experiences of the people.It conclusively identifies in the emergent understanding of catholicity in the ministry a vision of intercultural translations and translatability of the christian message.“(This book) grants everyone the opportunity to associate with one of the finest minds produced by the Catholic Church in Nigeria, critically evaluate him and possibly manage better the many pit-holes that challenged his vision of the Christian Church. It would certainly help in the current African Christians’ search for meaning and authenticity as well as help the Church in Africa to respond faithfully to Christ’s all important question: ‘Who do you say that I am?’ (Mark 8:28).”
