This captivating book delves into the remarkable expansion of the global megachurch network, Pentecostal Hillsong Church, originating from Australia and flourishing across diverse cities worldwide. Through ethnographic research conducted in Amsterdam and New York City, it emerges that these bustling urban centers serve as hubs for transnational religious networks, where media play a pivotal role. By adopting a lived religion approach, media is recognized as an essential component of daily religious practices, encompassing interaction, expression, and the consumption of faith. A central question arises: how do processes of mediatization shape, transform, and confront this vibrant cosmopolitan expression of Pentecostalism? This study addresses current debates in the field of religion, including the dynamics of religious belonging and community in global cities, the interplay between media technology, religious practices, and beliefs, the role of media in fostering religious engagement and social interaction in global cities, and the emergence of new modes of religious leadership and authority. Furthermore, this empirical study delves into pressing societal issues such as institutional responses to sexual abuse of children, perspectives on gender roles, misogyny, and mediated constructions of femininity. By exploring these topics, the book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between religion, media, and society in the modern world.
