Taking a glimpse into the impact of Christianity in one of Africa's
largest and fastest-evolving megacities, located in the Gauteng
City-Region, this book explores how faith shapes the city and its
society.
Addressing a scarcity of religious scholarship in the field of urban
studies, the book focuses on the Johannesburg-Pretoria corridor and
Christian faith expressions in this evolving megacity. Stéphan de Beer
highlights how city and faith are in conversation and explores various
expressions of Christian faith in an ever-changing urban landscape.
Connecting socio-spatial change in post-apartheid South African cities
with the changing Christian landscape, the connections and
disconnections between Christian faith expressions and urban change are
interrogated. Chapters feature wide coverage across both cities,
including places like Soweto and Sandton, Sunnyside and Soshanguve, and
everything in between. Examining these contexts where global migration
and Christian faith increasingly co-exist, the book provides valuable
insights to students of religion, sociology and urban studies.
