xiii, 316 p. : maps ; 24 cm. The first edition of The Next Christendom has been hailed as a landmark in our understanding of modern Christianity. In this new and substantially expanded second edition, Jenkins continues to illuminate the remarkable expanion of Christianity in the global South--in Africa, Asia, and Latin America--as well as the clash betwen Islam and Christianity since September 11. Among the major topics covered are the growing schism between Northern and Southern churches over issues of gender and sexuality, immigrant and ethnic churches in North America, and a special section on the split within the Anglican Communion. The first in a three-book trilogy on the changes besetting modern Christianity, this award-winning book will be welcomed by all of those who have come to recognize Philip Jenkins as one of our leading commentators on religion and world affairs. The Christian revolution -- Disciples of all nations -- Missionaries and prophets -- Standing alone -- The rise of the new Christianity -- Coming to terms -- God and the world -- The next crusade -- Coming home -- Seeing Christianity again for the first time.
