Cross-Cultural Encounters

Evangelism & Missions

“This superb example of faculty-student collaborative research, led by Professor Gloria Tseng, provides matchless insights into the cross-cultural dynamics of Christian witness among the Amoy in China. The essayists examined archival resources to open up the lives and services of seven female and five male American missionaries. They show how their incarnational witness to the gospel influenced every aspect of both the Amoy and the missionaries; their witness speaks to us afresh today.”

Exporting Progressivism to Communist China

History & Biography

“This seminal work, based on archival research, unpacks for the first time the complex relationships between theological education at Union Theological Seminary in New York and its formative impact on diverse expressions of emerging Chinese Protestant Christianity in mainland China, especially the Three-Self Patriotic Movement. It demonstrates how these ‘Sino-American relationships’ sustained, enlivened, and even expanded Chinese Christianity during revolutions; now Chinese Christianity is vibrant and enhances world Christianity. This book deserves highest recognition.”

Outline of Christian Doctrine

Theology

“The surpassing clarity of the text, its evangelical and intellectual loyalty to the Bible and trinitarian theology, its adherence to the essence of the gospel, and its honest answers to difficult questions all make this inspiring book indispensable for students of theology and mission studies who seek to understand Christian doctrines in a systematic manner.”

The Gospel and Pluralism Today

Evangelism & Missions

“This book offers the best available reflection on Newbigin's deep understanding of Christ's gospel and human pluralisms with their merits, challenges and enduring relevance for missional thinking, living and service at all levels.”

The Missionary Movement from the West

Evangelism & Missions

“The book vividly retains Professor Walls’s spoken lectures, concepts, emphases, and teachings on the western missionary movements. It embodies his dedication to sound scholarship in the service of church and society.”

The Shape of Christian History

History & Biography

“President Scott W. Sunquist has given us a gripping book on world Christianity! Its new historiography unlocks the results of Christian preaching, thought, and practice in diverse contexts. Its rich biographical and pedagogical narratives along with their rational and passionate presentation are both informative and transformative. It recognizes the valuable contributions of indigenous Christians with their own resources to their local congregations; their lively and active Christianity manifests itself as 'cruciform apostolicity' because it addresses the local ever-changing sentiments and it also opposes the systemic evil among them. This book frees and enriches the knowledge horizon of readers, whose mindset has thus far been conditioned by Euro-American norms, assumptions, and approaches. With transformed insights they learn to discover the kaleidoscopic shapes and expressions of Christian life, their collective thought, and witnesses. Thus this book invites them to enjoy a fresh 'historical journey into the fascinating and illuminating world of Christian history.'”

Transformative Religious Experience

World Religions

“Iyadurai allows us to hear the firsthand stories of Indian Christian converts, whose transformative religious experience has positively changed their lives and enlarged their world. These stories challenge popular assumptions of conversion, adaptation, witness, and service, and contribute to academic discourses on conversion.”

Understanding Christian Mission

Theology

“This book offers a fresh understanding of Christian mission endeavor from historical, theological, and ecclesiological perspectives. Scott Sunquist's teaching and living in mission contexts shine through in his expert choice of peoples and events in world Christianity. A must-read for all who reflect on Christian mission and its legacy and prospects.”

Understanding World Christianity

History & Biography

“This volume recaptures contemporary expressions of Christianity in India and presents them in an accurate, clear, and critical manner.”

World Christianity and Interfaith Relations

World Religions

“This book is a splendid achievement: it illustrates how Christians, as members of the world community, constantly relate to their contemporaries belonging to living religions and ideologies. This relationality is especially true for Asian, African, and Latin American Christians in the Global South. They understand and interpret their Christianity in relation to their non-Christian neighbors. Fourteen essayists of this volume capture the views of these Christians, as they engage with their neighbors on the ground. Their Christianity reflects their living contexts, experiences, challenges, and aspirations for themselves and their neighbors. Therefore, a healthy study of World Christianity necessarily considers interfaith relations and religious experiences. This volume contains four focal points and approaches them from multidisciplinary and transnational perspectives. Firstly, four essayists representing India, Myanmar, and Brazil discuss the impact of contemporary notions and practices of religious freedom, religious intolerance, and resurgent nationalism on fellow Christians, who often constitute minorities. Secondly, three Brazilian authors examine the place and role of gender and ecology in ethnographic imagination. Thirdly, an American and two Nigerian authors articulate the indispensable need for peace and reconciliation initiatives in troubled and peaceful times. Finally, two Indian theologians, a Ghanian theologian, and a South African theologian, who had their early education in the Global South, but live and work in the Global North, reflect on the North-South and South-North relationship of Christianity both in the Global South and the Global North. I warmly recommend this book to all scholars and students who engage with studies in World Christianity, Theology, World Religions, Indigenous religions, philosophy, and the social sciences.”
