Evangelicals Around the World

History & Biography

“This handbook is a footprint of gospel exploits that transform Evangelicals while turning the world upside down. The volume of faithfulness will inspire the most timid to exercise their Evangelical capacity with a contextual mandate. Commissioner M. Christine MacMillan, The Salvation Army; Chair, WEA Global Human Trafficking Taskforce This handbook is a great resource for all Evangelicals who want an in-depth knowledge about this global movement and for others who want to understand this growing movement. Since the authors are as diverse as the movement they describe, this wider approach captures the DNA of the global evangelical movement. A great and timely resource for those who want to look behind the scenes. Prof. Dr. theol. Dr. phil. Thomas Schirrmacher, President, International Council, International Society of Human Rights (Geneva); President, Martin Bucer European Seminary and Research Institutes This handbook is a seminal work on the whole question of Evangelical identity and a corrective of the popular stereotypes of what the 21st century world makes of Evangelicals. It is a welcome resource for Evangelicals around the world, and a witness of how God continues to work out His purposes. Aiah Foday-Khabenje, General Secretary, Association of Evangelicals in Africa (AEA) The reader will find a wealth of information that will serve to view Evangelicalism in its diversity and richness. It will become obvious that the Latin American Evangelical world is as Joseph’s coat, a beautifully embroidered gathering of colors, which changes its hues continually as it finds its own identity and expresses the Body of Christ. And that the Evangelicals, while not beholden to any one line of thought, are taking their place in the Christian world.”
