The growing evidence of Pentecostal public engagement has att racted academic attention\, especially\, but not exclusively in arenas of the Global South. Recent explorations of the global “Charismatic city” \, the notion of an African “Pentecostal republic”\, or assertions abo ut “property Christianity” in China point to peculiar Pentecostal taxo nomies in the public realm. Pentecostal politics of public prayer\, ‘spi ritual warfare` or ‘crusades’ seek to transform religious landscapes\, while ‘Dominionist` theologies claim to transcend narrow Pentecostal in terests in order to advocate the common good. Megachurches establish netwo rks to access political\, economic and cultural elites. Prosperity theolog ies also target social transformations and partly enable structural innova tions in economic life. The Pentecostal media revolution with its constitu tive elements of religious broadcasting and publishing interferes in local public discourses\; professionalized e-church performances disseminate tr anscultural strategies to impact a given political culture. Whether Pentec ostal migrant communities in the Global North are pursuing a strategic ‘ reverse mission’ to ‘conquer secular nations for Christ` remains open to debate.
