The World’s Local Religion

In the post-imperial age evangelical Christianity has become a genuinely global religion. But it is also deeply local, adapting to and challenging social structures, and developing unique, often incompatible doctrines. This lecture will explore this adaptation in three contexts – East Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America – to ask what evangelicalism has brought to those societies, how (and to what extent) it has put down roots there, and how it has changed them and been changed itself in the process.

This is a free public lecture by Alec Ryrie, Visiting Gresham Professor in the History of Religion.

There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
