Abstract
Excerpt: When the term “megachurch” is employed in works regarding the sociology of religion, the discussion typically revolves around the church’s efficient growth. This growth-centric perspective is often explored at length when considering the contributions of the megachurch as a method of organization for typically Christian churches. However, in understanding the megachurch, much more needs to be examined. Edited by Terence Chong, the Pentecostal Megachurches in Southeast Asia: Negotiating Class, Consumption and the Nation ingeniously characterizes the megachurch. Chong together with the contributors to this book captured a distinct scholarly gap in understanding the megachurch.
