Stefan van der Hoek

I am a doctoral researcher at the Faculty of Theology at Friedrich-Schiller University, in Jena, Germany. My research is situated in the field of Religious Education and in my PhD dissertation, I am investigating contemporary forms of stigmatization, discrimination, and/or invisibilities of young pentecostal believers at the intersection of migration. My goal is to elaborate approaches, in which pentecostal communities and believers are no longer described as degenerated "sects" or "fundamentalists", but as contemporary creator of Protestantism.
