About this title: Christianity is growing so rapidly in the global South that soon Africa may be home to the world's largest Christian population. But what sort of Christianity will that be?

For this reason, Philip Jenkins argues, they read the Scriptures with a freshness and authenticity impossible in the prosperous societies of North America and Europe. At first sight, the rising Christianity of the global South appears fundamentalist and ...

"This book focuses on the growth of Christianity in the developing world, as well as explaining how developing world Christians perceive their faith. The author emphasizes how today's developing world resembles the world of the Bible, and how people living in such a world draw strength from the teachings of their faith. At times, the author contrasts this world with that of Christianity in Europe and North America, but he doesn't go in to very many details. He also claims that there is a great deal of diversity in the beliefs of global North and global South Christians, but again, no details. I would definitely recommend the book to anyone wanting to learn more about Christianity in South America, Africa, or Asia."
