Hillsong Church: Palgrave Studies in Lived Religion and Societal Challenges

Autor Miranda Klaver
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iul 2022
This book highlights the expansion of the influential Pentecostal Hillsong Church global megachurch network from Australia across global cities. Ethnographic research in Amsterdam and New York City shows that global cities harbor nodes in transnational religious networks in which media play a crucial role. By taking a lived religion approach, media is regarded as integral part of everyday practices of interaction, expression and consumption of religion. Key question raised is how processes of mediatization shape, alter and challenge this thriving cosmopolitan expression of Pentecostalism. Current debates in the study of religion are addressed: religious belonging and community in global cities; the interrelation between media technology, religious practices and beliefs; religion, media and social engagement in global cities; media and emerging modes of religious leadership and authority. In this empirical study, pressing societal issues like institutional responses to sexual abuse of children, views on gender roles, misogyny and mediated constructions of femininity are discussed.

Recenzii

“This book uncovers the penetration of the media-saturated sociocultural environment into the everyday life of Hillsong Church through the religious perspectives and practices of Hillsong Church actors and then explores the intertwining of the media with the Hillsong Church. This book is a catalyst for research in Pentecostal Christianity, globalization and religious mobility, and media–religion relations.” (Wei Xiong, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 48 (4), December, 2022)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book highlights the expansion of the influential Pentecostal Hillsong Church global megachurch network from Australia across global cities. 
Drawing on ethnographic research in Amsterdam and New York City, Klaver shows that global cities harbor nodes in transnational religious networks. By taking a lived religion approach, media is analysed as an integral part of everyday practices of interaction, expression and consumption of religion. Key question are raised regarding how processes of mediatization shape, alter and challenge this thriving cosmopolitan expression of Pentecostalism. Current debates in the study of religion are also addressed: religious belonging and community in global cities; the interrelation between media technology, religious practices and beliefs; religion, media and social engagement in global cities; media and emerging modes of religious leadership and authority. Pressing societal issues such as institutional responses to sexual abuse of children, views on gender roles, misogyny and mediated constructions of femininity are discussed.
The book will be of interest to students and researchers of anthropology of religion, religious studies, sociology of religion, particularly religion and globalisation, religion and media and urban religion.
