- W2186338985 abstract "The world over, Christianity is one of the most populous and non-homogeneous religious groups. In the African context, the heterogeneity of Christianity is evidenced by the existence of the various strands such as the main-line churches, evangelical churches, African Initiated churches and the Pentecostal churches. This African scenario also manifests in the Zimbabwean context. The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which the healing ministry in Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe is a result of miracles or magic. The study posits that some leaders in the Pentecostal churches manipulate magical powers in order to gain authority, prestige, popularity and wealth by any means necessary. The study utilised documentary analysis, in-depth interviews and observation to gather data. The phenomenological and sociological methods also informed the research. The study established two main strands pertaining to the performance of miracles in Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe. On one hand, some respondents felt that the miracles are a result of God’s presence whereas on the other hand a significant proportion regarded the miracles as a farce and the works of magic. On the basis of these findings, the research concluded that not all miraculous works in Pentecostal churches must be taken as authentic as some people who perform miracles are not innocent and immune from subversion and manipulation." @default.
