- Research on religion in Africa has focused ever more in the last twenty years on the question of the “religious revival,” and it has usually focused on the question of the ruptures and innovations that resulted from it. This article questions the reality of the “religious revival” in Africa and explores, on the basis of a case study, the issue of change and continuity in religious change. In the first section, the text looks at the nature of the religious revival in Mozambique; it then examines the historical and denominational continuities that exist within the so-called revival; the last section investigates the impact religious transformations have had on the political realm. The conclusion tries to unpack the question of ruptures and continuities and considers the question of a religious revival beyond this dichotomy.

- Recent research on religion in Africa has focused more on the “religious revival”, particularly the resulting ruptures and innovations. This article questions the reality of the “religious revival” and explores, on the basis of a case study, change and continuity in religious change. The text looks at the nature of the religious revival in Mozambique; then examines the historical and denominational continuities that exist within the so-called revival; and finally investigates the impact religious transformations have had on politics. The conclusion tries to unpack the question of ruptures and continuities and considers the religious revival beyond this dichotomy.
