Full Description

Glimpsing into the impact of Christianity in one of Africa's largest and fastest-growing megacities, located in the Gauteng City-Region, this book explores how faith shaped the city and its society.

Addressing a scarcity of religious scholarship in the field of urban studies, this book focuses on the Johannesburg-Pretoria corridor and Christian faith expressions in the evolving African megacity. Stéphan de Beer highlights how city and faith are in conversation and explores various expressions of Christian faith in this ever-changing urban landscape.

Connecting socio-spatial change in post-apartheid South African cities with the changing Christian landscape, this book interrogates the connections and disconnections between Christianity and urban change. Chapters feature wide coverage across both cities, including the areas of Sandton, Tshwane, Woodlane Village and Soshang. Examining the contexts where global migration and Christian faith increasingly co-exist, this book provides valuable insights to students of religion, sociology and urban studies.
