The role of migration for Christianity as a world religion during
the last two centuries has drawn considerable attention from
scholars in different fields. The main issue this book seeks to
address is the question whether and to what extent migration and
diaspora formation should be considered as elements of a new
historiography of global Christianity, including the reflection
upon earlier epochs. By focusing on migration and diaspora, the
emerging map of Christianity will include the dimension of movement
and interaction between actors in different regions, providing a
more comprehensive 'map of agency' of individuals and groups
previously regarded as passive. Furthermore, local histories will
become parts of a broader picture and historiography might
correlate both local and transregional perspectives in a balanced
manner. Behind this approach lies the desire to broaden the
perspective of Ecclesiastical History - and religious history in
general - in a more systematic manner by questioning the
traditional criteria of selection. This might help us to recover
previously lost actors and forgotten dynamics.
