- Summary:
- V.1: In European and Global Christianity, ca. 1500-1789 ten internationally known scholars reflect on the historical factors that have made Christianity a truly global religion that interacts creatively with the myriad ventures that form cultures, societies, and civilizations. This volume concentrates both on the expansion of Christianity that emanated from Europe and the reality of that religion in every part of the world. --
V.2: At the beginning of the 19th century, "Christendom" was still largely restricted to Europe and the Americas. But by the end of the century this picture had been radically transformed. Spreading the Christian message through mission and colonialism had changed the map of global Christianity. Moreover, challenged by new political ideologies such as Liberalism and Socialism, as well as encounters with other religions, the face of Christianity had changed towards the beginning of the 20th century. This volume relates the dynamics of Christianity during the 19th century in ten chapters, addressing parts of the world where Christianity played a role of significance, such as Russia, Africa and the Middle East, as well as the confrontations with different ideologies. --
V.3: 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. -- - Subject(s):
