Overview
Christianity has grown dramatically over the last few centuries and is now the largest religion in the world, embraced by more than 2.5 billion people from all over the globe. No longer just a European faith, Christianity is now border-less, with heartlands in Brazil, the Congo, and the Philippines. Christ and Culture: A Global Perspective introduces students to how Christianity has been adopted by some of the world's cultures in surprising and fascinating ways.
Case studies include:
- Nairobi, Kenya
- Lake Tana, Ethiopia
- Bangalore, India
- Stockholm, Sweden
- Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Jerusalem, Israel
- Turin, Italy
- Los Angeles, USA
Within these chapters, topics such as global Pentecostalism, Catholic-Protestant relations, Orthodoxy, reverse missions, secularization, and urbanization are discussed, with allusions to H. Richard Niebhur's classic text (1951) on the topic throughout. Using engaging case studies, this book will be essential reading for students introduced to Christianity, Christianity and culture, and global Christianity for the first time.
