This accessible textbook describes Christianity, the world's
largest religion, in all of its historical and contemporary
diversity. No other publication includes so much information or
presents it so clearly and winsomely. This volume employs a
"religious studies" approach that is neutral in tone yet
accommodates the lived experiences of Christians in different
traditions and from all regions of the globe. The World's
Christians is a perfect textbook for either public university
classrooms or liberal arts campuses. Divided into three parts, the
text first describes the world's four largest Christian traditions
(Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Pentecostal)
which together account for roughly 98 percent of all Christians
worldwide. A second section focuses on Christian history,
explaining the movement's developing ideas and practices and
examining Christianity's engagement with people and cultures around
the world. The third and longest portion of the text details the
distinctive experiences, contemporary challenges, and demographics
of Christians in nine geographic regions, including the Middle
East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Eastern and Western
Europe, South Asia, North America, East Asia, and Oceania. The
second edition of this popular text has been thoroughly rewritten
to take recent developments into account, and each chapter now
includes two primary source readings, highlighting the diversity of
voices that exist within the world Christian movement. Like the
first edition, the revised text is enhanced with easily
understandable maps, charts, tables and illustrative photographs.
In summary, this new and improved second edition of The World's
Christians is: written in a clear style that readers will find
engaging enriched by the addition of thought-provoking primary
source readings thoroughly revised to bring the story of
Christianity up to the 2020s more geographically comprehensive than
any competing text more theologically/ecclesiastically
comprehensive than any competing text amply illustrated with maps,
charts, tables, and photographs perfect for use in the classroom or
for general readers who want to understand the full diversity of
Christianity as it currently exists around the world
