Contents:
The new shape of world Christianity -- Nineteenth-century evangelical identity, power and culture as anticipating the future -- Posing the question -- What does counting missionaries reveal? -- Indictment and response -- American experience as template -- American evangelicals view the world, 1900-2000 -- What Korean believers can learn from American evangelical history -- The East African revival -- Reflections.
Summary: In this book Mark Noll revisits the history of the American church in the context of world events. He makes the case that how Americans have come to practice the Christian faith is just as globally important as what the American church has done in the world. He backs up this claim, lucidly explaining the relationship between the development of Christianity in North America and the development of Christianity in the rest of the world, with attention to recent transfigurations in world Christianity. -- from publisher description
