Reviews
[...] this book is an innovative and insightful study in the South African context of a very important phenomenon among women all over the developing world. It crucially advances our understanding and should be of major interest to the very large numbers of people, in the media and the academy, now tracing these developments world-wide. - Dr. David Martin, Em. Prof in sociology at the London School of Economics, in: Professional Women in South African Pentecostal Charismatic Churches, Brill, 2010
"This carefully-researched project by a South African scholar will be of special interest for Women’s Studies as well as for Pentecostal Studies in the academy. The author’s description of her research design and methodology make this study a model for aspiring research scholars. Her research questions are clearly stated and served to guide her exploration of the lives of black middle-class women in South Africa. The outcome of Frahm-Arp’s research demonstrates the importance of Pentecostal-Charismatic-Christian (PCC) religion as a force for stability and change in the present-day, postapartheid South African context. This book therefore is of primary interest to a much larger audience, viz the leadership and constituents of the churches of South Africa and beyond."
