- Summary:
- The explosive southward expansion of Christianity into Africa, Asia, and Latin American has barely registered on Western consciousness. Nor has the globalization of Christianity--and the enormous religious, political, and social consequences it predicts--been properly understood. Philip Jenkins's "The Next Christendom" shows that Christianity is on the rise again, and to understand what that rise may mean requires a new awareness of what is happening in the Southern hemisphere. This book takes the first large step towards that new awareness.
