520 "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.
