The map of world Christianity has changed dramatically in just
the last century. Today the majority of Christians live in Africa,
Asia, and Latin America, making Christianity a world religion as
never before in history.
Given that global reality, Klaus Koschorke, Frieder Ludwig, and
Mariano Delgado have created the first comparative documentary
history of Christianity for these regions covering the period
1450?1990. Taking the changing ecumenical conditions into account,
this volume enlarges the horizon of classical church
historiography. In contrast to the prevailing Western perspectives
on the history of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America,
voice is given here to the multitude of local initiatives, specific
experiences, and varieties of Christianity in very diverse cultural
contexts ? addressing such questions as the colonial conquest,
slavery, and the demand for ecclesiastical independence.
