Around the globe, migrant communities are being established in modern, Western societies where they are creating new, vital Pentecostal churches, worship groups, and religious communities. Among other locations, this mainly cosmopolitan movement is visible in the northern part of Europe, dramatically changing the religious landscape of formerly more homogeneous societies. This book analyses this global phenomenon from different disciplinary perspectives, using the Swedish capital Stockholm as an example. The analysis builds on extensive fieldwork in one Arabic, one African, and one Latin American Pentecostal church in Stockholm. A demographic mapping of the rise of international Pentecostal churches and other migrant churches in Sweden is also included. New knowledge about these ongoing transformations of the religious landscape in urban Sweden offers new perspectives on global cosmopolitan religious change.
