Introduction about École Pratique des Hautes Études
ABSTRACT:
During these last years, mass media regularly presents the extreme vitality of a Christianity that desires to convert all over the world, included most of the Southeast Asian societies. Evangelical Protestantism currently challenges religious policies and the academic world that tries to analyze this phenomenon in accordance with contemporary mutations of the Nation-States and as an effect of the globalization, seen especially in its economic and cultural aspects. In the case of Vietnam but also with its neighbors, researchers turn one’s deep attention to ethnicity issues, to multiethnic situations that explain the expansion of communities and local churches and sometimes orientate our understandings.
In order to throw light on the regional religious context, this lecture aims to historically rethink the current dynamic of Protestantism in Vietnam and mainland southeast Asia. To do so, we consider the diverse roots of this minority religion then analyze how Evangelical churches disseminated from the 20th century until now.
