This lecture follows the adaptation of evangelical Christianity in East Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America in the post-imperial age: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-worlds-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.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-worlds-local-religion
