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.
