Synopsis

This title coincides with the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the city of Pretoria (Tshwane) (established in 1855). This a large-scale history of religions in this city, presenting a comprehensive account of the religious history of this major South African city, poised on the brink of a new epoch. It encapsulates the changes from a hegemonic Reformed society in the nineteenth century, through the modernisation and pluralisation of South African society in the twentieth century as well as the rise and fall of apartheid in the latter half of that century, to a tentative entry into a new religious and civic epoch. It records the role of various forms of civil religion in the making of South African society uniquely represented in the city of Pretoria (Tshwane). It also records the roles in the religious landscape of the city of numerous other Christian churches and movements, such as African Indigenous Christianity, Anglicanism, Catholicism, the charismatic movement, Lutheranism, Pentecostalism, Presbyterianism, and the Salvation Army.Other religions such as African religion, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, and diverse religious groupings such as theosophy, are woven
