Editorial Reviews

Gerald Bray
— Beeson Divinity School
“Christianity is rapidly expanding in the Majority World, which is playing more and more a part in the faith’s ongoing theological development. . . . We are privileged to have this collection of essays as a guide to what we may expect to see in the years to come.”

Joel Carpenter
— Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity
“Now that most of the world’s Christians live outside of the faith’s former strongholds in Europe and European settlements, Christian thinking has much new work to do. . . . Kudos to the authors and editors for presenting this work.”

Christopher J. H. Wright
— Langham Partnership
“Provides a kind of stereophonic listening to one another across the cultures that shape us but should not define us as Christians. The whole Majority World Theology series promises to be a refreshingly reciprocal contribution to global theology.
