“…Hillsong también proviene de las influencias de la Lluvia Tardía, como resultado de la expansión del avivamiento neozelandés en las décadas de los 70 y 80, hacia las iglesias de las Asambleas de Dios australianas, denominación a la que pertenecía esta megaiglesia. Aunque Hillsong no explota las manifestaciones carismáticas en la adoración tan prominentemente como Bethel, la influencia de la composición musical originada en la Lluvia Tardía es innegable (Austin, 2017). Hillsong se caracteriza por el inmenso esfuerzo que ha puesto en la producción de un sonido característico y atractivo, bastante estandarizado, con álbumes muy pulidos de alta producción, con un tono "victorioso", excitante e inspiracional, impreso en la textura de su música y lírica (Evans, 2015).…”

The New Apostolic Reformation (NRA) is a contemporary Christian movement that has a global reach. Thousands of churches are counted among its many, intricate and growing networks. This article aims to show that there are theological and liturgical reasons, contained within the genetic code of contemporary apostolic churches, which constitute a formidable unifying element characteristic of their globalizing culture. One of these influences, constantly mentioned but little formally studied, is the area of praise and worship music (P&W), and its liturgical use in neo-Apostolic churches. For this reason, the article presents briefly the evolution of several theological currents that came together to form the NRA. The following two sections describe how the current characteristics of praise and worship music were developed within the NRA. Finally, five dimensions are proposed that allow us to characterize the praise and worship movement today: the presence of God or P&W sacramentality as inspiration, revival as motivation, technology as an instrument, cultural transformation as mission, and dominion as end goal. It is concluded that, although there is no monolithic doctrinal and liturgical uniformity, it is possible to speak of a culture, theology of worship, ritual language, and practices that unify the NRA worldwide, which facilitates the dissemination of ideas and religious goods within. a highly expansive religious market.

“…42 Ben Houston is lead pastor of Hillsong Los Angeles; Laura Toggs (née Houston) is leader of youth ministry in Sydney; and their eldest child, Joel Houston, is the lead singer of the famous Hillsong United worship band. 43 The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse investigated this abuse further and brought Frank Houston's paedophilia to public attention in 2014 (Austin 2017;Coate and Atkinson 2015). According to the commission, Frank's son Brian neglected to report the crimes, which he reportedly found out about in 1998 (Davidson 2015).…”

A note on languageAll recorded interviews and informal conversations were conducted in Dutch, transcribed (in the case of interviews), and translated into English. Throughout this dissertation, Hebrew, Yiddish, and Arabic terminology is italicised and provided in its English phonetic spelling.The meaning of such terms is provided upon the first instance, whilst a full glossary is provided in appendix A for terms that appear more than once. Jewish interlocutors used both Hebrew and Yiddish words and, in these instances, I adhere to the interpretation used by the individual concerned and/or their communities. Variations between different Jewish communities are not further specified. Muslim women used Islamic terms interchangeably in Arabic and Dutch. Here I also closely follow their original statements, for example: Whenever cited as saying 'God', they said God in Dutch, whilst 'Allah' (which can also mean 'God') is left untranslated.In all cases, the personal names of my interlocutors are pseudonyms. For clarity and structure, I primarily used Hebrew names for Jewish women, Arabic names for Muslim women, and Christian names for Christian women. Whilst the dates of my interviews are not included in the main text, an overview of all interlocutors and interviews is provided in appendix B.For references to the Hebrew Bible, I made use of the Jewish Publication Society's English translation, called The Jewish Publication Society's Tanakh, second edition of 2003, and abbreviated as 'JPS' in this dissertation. In the Christian case study, I mainly used the New International Version (the edition of 2011 and abbreviated as 'NIV') for quoted Bible verses unless stated otherwise. The NIV is a translation by biblical scholars from Evangelical communities, published by Biblica, and used and sold by the Hillsong church. Citations from the Qur'an are from the 2007 The Qur'an translated into English, by Alan Jones, abbreviated as 'QAJ'. Following the Chicago Manual of Style, generic references to scripture are not italicised.-Lisa At some point… Islam becomes part of your life, a part of who you are.-Hanan Aliza, Lisa, and Hanan are three women who shared their experience of religious conversion with me. They all give different understandings of what this process meant for them: It can be a process of the heart; it can be a conscious choice to submit to the plan of God; it can also occur gradually until, at some point, religion becomes part of who you are. Although none of them were raised with a religion, Aliza became Jewish, Lisa became Christian, and Hanan became Muslim. All three converted, and respectively, 'did giyur', 'accepted Jesus', or 'returned to Islam'. Within each religion, specific guidelines exist about what it means to join and there are often rituals in place to mark the inclusion of newcomers, such as the mikvah, baptism, or shahada. Conversion is, however, far more than official rituals or guidelines and implies negotiating various aspects of life, many of them gendered. Such negotiations emerge in areas as di...
