- Summary:
- "Glimpse into the impact of Christianity in one of Africa's largest and fastest-growing megacities, located in the Gauteng City-Region. 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 African megacity. 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. It provides valuable insights to students of religion, sociology and urban studies seeking to understand contexts where global migration and Christian faith increasingly co-exist"-- Provided by publisher.
