"In postcolonial Singapore and Malaysia, Pentecostal megachurches dominate the Christian
landscape, but the "big four" Protestant churches—Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian,
and Brethren—remain religions of heritage for many. Sixty Malaysian and nineteen Singaporean
assemblies identify themselves as Christian Brethren, and most trace their roots to
independent local churches formed in Penang and Singapore in the 1860s. After World
War II, the Brethren promoted new forms of evangelical practice, and former Brethren
elders founded independent churches, from charismatic local churches to Pentecostal
megachurches. This study is a transregional history of the Brethren movement and its
emplacement in Singapore and Malaysia, and it is also a history of discontinuous continuities
that have shaped the modern field of religious practice in China and Southeast Asia."
