Beschreibung:

Indonesia is the largest Muslim majority nation in the world at the same time has a grow Pentecostal/Charismatic movement, gaining more public attention, both for its size and wealth. Building on two years of research, thousands of member surveys, and visits to almost 300 churches, this book gives insights into the reasons for its growth. It explores the characteristics of the growing community and its social relations with other Christian communities as well as Muslims in Indonesia.'Up to now the social character of Indonesian Pentecostalism has remained something of a mystery. This book changes the state of our knowledge entirely. Its chapters provide us with important and often unexpected insights into Indonesian Pentecostalism's varied worship styles, organizational diversity, and gender dynamics. No less remarkably, it explores the nature of Pentecostal-Muslim relations and examines their implication for Indonesian pluralism as a whole. In short, this book is one of the most important ever written on Pentecostalism in Asia. It should be read by everyone interested in the late modern vitality and diversity of Pentecostal Christianity.'
