History of Global Christianity, Vol. I: European and Global Christianity, ca. 1500-1789

Editat de Jens Holger Schjørring, Norman A. Hjelm
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2021
Christianity was a global religion prior to the history recounted in European and Global Christianity, ca. 1500 - 1789. There were Christians in Asia and Africa before Europeans arrived in those places as well as in Latin America and North America, by movements of economic and political conquest and migration, and also Christian mission. This volume attests to the intensification of this globalization - in these 'new' continents as well as in Russia and the Ottoman territories. Simultaneously, in Europe Christianity was marked by Reformations, by confessional divisions, and by the Enlightenment. This global religion affected all structures of human life - society, politics, economics, philosophy, art, and the myriad ventures that form civilizations.

Contributors are: Carsten Bach-Nielsen, Alfons Brüning, Mariano Delgado, Andreas Holzem, Thomas Kaufman, Hartmut Lehmann, Bruce Masters, Ronnie Po-chia Hsia, Jan Stievermann and Kevin Ward.

This is part of a three volume work on the history of global Christianity. Volume II and III address the 19th and 20th centuries respectively and will appear in 2018.

Recenzii

"It will be indispensable for early modern historians, global historians and scholars of religious history alike. (...) illustrate[s] the fascinating and breathtaking spectacle of the spread and nature of global Christianity in the early modern age, and mark[s] both the achievements as well as the challenges for researchers in the field.", David Onnekink, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History Volume 70 (2019)."Focusing more on movements, institutions, and geographical regions than on individual personalities, this resource will help nonspecialists and specialists alike map out topics for further research in the last 500 years of global church movements." - M.S. Hill, Liberty University in *Choice*, November 2018.

"Drie eeuwen christendom, past dat in één boek? Elf kerkhistorici is het gelukt om een spade dieper te gaan dan veel andere auteurs doen in hun kerkhistorische overzichten. Zo is er aandacht voor een breed scala aan onderwerpen, zoals het katholicisme in Spanje, Portugal en de nieuw ontdekte gebieden in Amerika en de Filipijnen (Delgado); de groeiende macht van de Russische kerk (Brüning); het christendom in Afrika (Ward) en Azië (Hsia) en de christelijke gemeenschappen in Noord-Amerika (Stievermann)."

[English translation:] "Three centuries of Christianity, does that fit into one book? Eleven church historians have managed to go a bit deeper than many other authors do in their church historical overviews. The [first] volume includes a wide range of topics, such as Catholicism in Spain, Portugal and the newly discovered areas in America and the Philippines (Delgado), the growing influence of the Russian church (Brüning), Christianity in Africa (Ward) and Asia (Hsia) and the Christian communities in North America (Stievermann)."
