Editat de Jens Holger Schjørring, Norman A. Hjelm, Kevin Ward
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2021
The third volume of History of Global Christianity addresses the 20th century. An international cast of (Church) historians and Religious Studies scholars relate the developments in this century, from the World Wars into postmodern times. The century is discussed along chronological and geographical lines, as the other volumes, but also focuses on more thematical issues such as Ecumenism, Antisemitism and Human Rights.

Contributors are: Andrew Chandler, Melanie Duguid-May, Siegfried Hermle, Katharina Kunter, Frieder Ludwig, Gerard Mannion, Harry Oelke, Jens Holger Schjørring, Ulrike Schröder, Kevin Ward.

This is part of a three volume work on the history of global Christianity. The first two volumes cover the periods from 1500-1789 and the 19th century (published 2017).

Recenzii

"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.

"The volumes take a fresh approach in presenting historical research from a global angle, so as to not be constrained by the typical European ethnocentric tunnel vision. Too often Church history was written and prescribed from a Eurocentric perspective, which is as much apparent in its terminology (e.g. Middle East, Near East) as in its proportional selection (more attention for the Atlantic axis). In this regard the series is a ‘Fundgrube’ of data, narratives, and historical reflections not hindered by cultural biases given with the false assumption that modernity and civilisation only started with the wake of Europe." - Henk Bakker, Free University Amsterdam, JEBS 21:1 (2021), pp. 201-203.
