Speaking the Heart of Zion in the Language of Canaan: City Harvest and the Cultural Mandate in Singapore / Chong, Terence -- IndexCharismatic pastors, fast-paced worship sessions, inspirational but shallow theology, and large congregations - these are just some of the associated traits of Pentecostal megachurches. But what lies beneath the veneer of glitz? What are their congregations like? How did they grow so quickly? How have they managed to negotiate local and transnational challenges? This book seeks to understand the growth and popularity of independent Pentecostal megachurches in Southeast Asia. Using an ethnographic approach, the chapters examine Pentecostal megachurches in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore. Each chapter dwells on the development of the megachurch set against the specific background of the country's politics and history.Big churchesSoutheast AsiaPentecostalismSoutheast AsiaElectronic books.Big churchesPentecostalism246.950973Chong TerenceISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466880003321Pentecostal megachurches in Southeast Asia2466473UNINA
