Recenzii
Offers a refreshingly globalized primer to diverse Christian traditions. Consistently thoughtful in its approach.
A healthy book for the Church with regard to the advancement of biblical interpretation and the development of biblical scholarship ... Well-balanced, providing adequate space for key concerns on the level appropriate for an introductory course on Global Christianity.
The arrival of a second and revised edition of this splendid book is excellent news. It provides, in accessible form, a comprehensive continent guide to the Christian faith and its history in different parts of the world, with guidance for further reading and thinking. It will be a boon to teachers and to many general readers.
In 2008, I warmly recommended the first edition of this book; I am equally enthusiastic about its successor. In this updated, expanded and partially re-ordered volume the authors press home their major point: 'that all aspects of Christian studies, including church history, theology, interreligious and societal relations, must be reshaped and revised in light of the nature of Christianity as a world religion'. Indeed they must.
A detailed, evenhanded and magisterial survey of the past and present stories of world Christianity.an ideal text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students looking for a truly global one-volume history of Christianity.
In this lucid text, Kim and Kim demonstrate how Christianity - like other world religions - is both an agent of globalization and a product of it. More precisely, they articulate the myriad different ways in which the Christian faith has been received in different parts of the world, and how believers of all kinds have made it their own. I recommend it warmly to specialists and non-specialists alike
This book presents a wealth of information about Christianity across the globe. It looks at present as well as past, and brings the story up to the present day. It is an ideal resource for anyone looking for a compendium of reliable information presented clearly and concisely.
This book represents a remarkable achievement. Not only does it demonstrate, accessibly and succinctly, the global character of the Christian faith, it shows how that faith has over centuries become embedded in different regions and diverse cultures. It not only provides information; it provokes thought. It will be abundantly useful. Professor Andrew Walls, Centre for the Study of Christianity in the Non-Western World, University of Edinburgh and Centre for the Study of African and Asian Christianity, Liverpool Hope University, UK
Very clear account [with an] interesting and important perspective that takes Christianity away from its usual focus in the Latin West. [It's] the only volume of its type that manages this successfully.
