History of Christianity in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, 1450–1990: A Documentary Sourcebook
Klaus Koschorke (editor), Frieder Ludwig (editor), Mariano Delgado (editor)The map of world Christianity has changed dramatically in just the last 100 years. Today the majority of Christians live in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In fact, Christianity has truly become a world religion as never before in history.
Given that global reality, Klaus Koschorke, Frieder Ludwig, and Mariano Delgado have created the first comparative documentary history of Christianity for these regions covering the period 1450–1990. Taking the changing ecumenical conditions into account, this volume enlarges the horizon of classical church historiography. In contrast to the prevailing Western perspectives on the history of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, voice is given here to the multitude of local initiatives, specific experiences, and varieties of Christianity in very diverse cultural contexts — addressing such questions as the colonial conquest, slavery, and the demand for ecclesiastical independence.
Featuring a parallel chronological analysis of the history of Christianity in these regions, and based as it is on the most recent research on Christianity, colonialism, and mission, History of Christianity in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, 1450–1990 offers a unique and needed link to a correct world perspective of Christianity.
