“…These include historical, political, economical, sociological, ethnic, non-religious, religious and theological. 20 Nevertheless, if investigated further it can be recognized that the claim of the Holy Spirit by these people to have power to heal the sick, prophesy, reveal hidden things and solve deep-seated human problems was the attraction to these churches. Some practices in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit's work follow those of traditional religions.…”

The article makes a brief survey of the movement of the Holy Spirit in various church traditions across the world. It begins by highlighting the various revivals in Christianity, including Pietism among Lutheranism and the Holiness movement. It shows these as the precursors to the emergence of Pentecostalism in the 20th century. The Latter Rain movement, which came out of the Pentecostal movement, is analysed as a contributing factor to the Charismatic renewal within world Christianity. The empowerment of the Holy Spirit, which is one of the distinctive emphases of the Charismatic renewal, is shown as providing the opportunity to build the kingdom of the Lord, by various denominations, in love and unity.

This historical research seeks to investigate the development of the atenteben, and its inclusion in the Ghanaian school curriculum. The atenteben, is a flute which is locally produced in Ghana from the stem of a species of the bamboo plant. The bamboo is a hollow, jointed, giant, woody grass that breeds predominantly in the tropical zones. While the bamboo is usually used for furniture, housing, and other household implements, the material has been crafted into a musical instrument, atenteben, to create pitched sounds for ceremonial and entertainment activities. This study sought to trace the historical route of atenteben, and illuminate how it became integrated into the Ghanaian school curriculum. Primary and secondary sources were employed for saturated data collection. Results indicated that the atenteben was first produced and introduced into the Ghanaian school curriculum by Dr. Ephraim Amu, albeit other scholars have contributed toward the development of the instrument as well as its teaching and learning. It was recommended that while seeking standardization and industrialized manufacture of the instrument through stakeholder collaborations, colleges of education should formalize teaching and learning of the atenteben in their curriculum. Further research will explore the atenteben in other keys, and examine writings and compositions of Dr. Ephraim Amu on the instrument.
