World Christianity as Public Religion

Theology

“As the twenty-first century unfolds, one of the most significant facts about it – possibly the most significant – is that Christianity, having been declared moribund even by some thoughtful observers – is growing, changing and spreading faster than ever. More importantly, it is no longer a “western religion” but a world faith, claiming increasing numbers of followers in China, Africa and Southeast Asia. Also, it is not just a private or a merely personal matter, but a decisive presence – for blessing and for bane – in the public arena. The books in this timely series lay out the full implications of this tidal change.”
