Recenzii
This fine collection of original essays completely shatters the myth promulgated only a few years ago that the "next Christendom" was flourishing in the global South completely on its ownâ¦The connections between U.S. and African Christianity remain strong and are far more complex than either demographic projections or postcolonial rhetoric would lead us to believe. --Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University
