Abel Damina

Abel Hankuri Damina (* 1960) ist ein nigerianischer Pastor, Televangelist und Gründer der Freikirche Power City International in Uyo. Er vertritt eine christozentrische Gnadentheologie und löste in der afrikanischen Pfingstbewegung heftige Kontroversen aus, indem er den verpflichtenden Zehnten, traditionelle Höllenvorstellungen sowie das von ihm früher selbst gelehrte Wohlstandsevangelium öffentlich verwarf. Für Bibelleser bietet er pointierte, auf das Erlösungswerk Christi ausgerichtete Textauslegungen, bleibt jedoch wegen seiner radikalen Kritik an kirchlichen Traditionen und Dogmen stark umstritten.
