What is the state of Christianity today, and what might it look
like in the future? In the West, the story for a long time has
revolved around decline and the loss of monopoly status, but how
are these shifts changing the practice of Christianity or
individual belief? Similarly, the rapid growth of Christianities in
the Global South has been well reported, but the continuing complex
intersections of mission Christianity with indigenous religions are
less well known. Large-scale flows of people across increasingly
fluid borders mean that not only does immigration sometimes
significantly boost Christian numbers in a given country, but that
different forms of Christianity shift traditional religious
landscapes. How will emerging trends such as 'reverse mission' from
the Global South affect Christianities in areas more used to
sending rather than receiving missions? As the majority of
believers shifts from the West to the Global South, how will issues
such as homosexuality be played out theologically, politically and
individually? Will new virtual churches manage to create viable
long-term communities? How does new festival Christianity function
in the religious life of an individual? The divergent and
oftentimes contradictory state of Christianity in the modern world
fuels questions about its place and future in the world: in
politics, education and healthcare. This book brings together
cutting edge research on the most recent changes and trends in
Christianity worldwide. Contributors drawn from the USA, UK and
Europe, Africa and East Asia offer an invaluable breadth of
coverage, expertise and disciplinary perspective at the
intersections between sociology of religion, theology, politics,
education and human geography.
