"The growth of the megachurch (generally defined as a regular attendance of over 2,000
people) is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional religious trends of recent times,
certainly within the Christian sphere. Spreading from the USA, megachurches have now
become common globally - reaching different national and cultural contexts. The edited
volume Handbook of Megachurches offers a comprehensive account of the subject from
various academic perspectives: sociology, religious studies, religious history and
religious studies among them. Topics covered include: the historical developments
and growth, typologies, theology, popular culture, revivalism, social engagement,
and the manifestation of megachurches in such countries as Canada, Russia, India and
Africa. Contributors are: Richard Burgess, Mark Cartledge, Saliha Chattoo, Simon Coleman,
Katie Corcoran, Andrew Davies, David Eagle, Stephen Hunt, Jonathan James, Torsten
Löfstedt, Gordon Melton, Martyn Percy, Charity Rakestraw, Peter Schuurman, Kate Stockly,
Azoneh Ukah, Marc von der Ruhr, James Wellman, Michael Wilkinson. Foreworded by David
Bromley"
