Religious renewal takes place in several major cities around the globe. New vital Pentecostal churches, worship groups, and religious communities are established. This mainly cosmopolitan movement is also visible in the Norden part of Europe, changing the religious landscape in modern fluid globalized societies like the Swedish. In this book, this global phenomenon is analyzed from different disciplinary perspectives, with the Swedish capital Stockholm as an example. The analyzes build on extensive field-work 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, gives perspectives on the global cosmopolitan religious change.
