The Handbook of Popular Spiritual Movements in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia provides a reference for interpreting contemporary Christian life and practice through the contributions of over forty local and international theologians, historians, theological educators, social scientists, artists, composers and pastors. Their interpretative essays, case studies and examples of image and music for worship, help readers sense and understand the evolving movements of aspiration, thought and practice that are shaping Christianity in Asia at the start of the twenty-first century.
"The recent history of Christianity in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore is a story of enormous energy and expansion; bit it is a;so -- so this valuable survey suggests -- a story that still needs to come to terms with its own development in the context of the turbulent recent history of the region. The flowering of mission and discipleship that has made so deep an impression on Christian worldwide has evolved in the midst of deep political, ethnic and religious tensions. With patient scholarship and intellectual rigour, this book offers that wider map needed to understand more fully what has been happening. And in challenging us to see the workings of the Spirit in the Church's encounter with cultural and political history, it is of far more than merely regional interest. A really indispensable tool for interpreting the life of Christian communities in South East Asia." -- Rowan Williams, Magdalene College, Cambridge
