Description
This book provides a historical and theological perspective of the New Holy Ministry Church in Kenya. The authors observe that the church, whose headquarters is in Lugari, Kakamega County, in the western part of Kenya, falls under the ambit of New Religious Movements (NEREMOS). Basing their discussion on research findings, Kitsiiri and Nandi undertake a historical analysis of the church and then go deeper to discuss the theological factors that have led to the church’s growth and development. This book is useful to scholars of religion and theology. It is a welcome addition to the growing corpus on research that aims to understand why some mission and post-mission churches are losing some of their members to NEREMOS. The book is also handy for leaders who may want to strategize on how to maintain the popularity and attractiveness of their churches.
