Book Synopsis



A history of unparalleled scope that charts the global transformation of Christianity during an age of profound political and cultural change

Christianity in the Twentieth Century charts the transformation of one of the world's great religions during an age marked by world wars, genocide, nationalism, decolonization, and powerful ideological currents, many of them hostile to Christianity. Written by a leading scholar of world Christianity, the book traces how Christianity evolved from a religion defined by the culture and politics of Europe to the expanding polycentric and multicultural faith it is today. Brian Stanley provides a history of Christianity as a popular faith experienced and lived by its adherents, telling a compelling and multifaceted story of Christendom's fortunes across the globe.



From the Back Cover



"Stanley's excellent book makes an original contribution to the history of modern Christianity. This is a fine piece of work from a master historian. It will stand the test of time."--Dana L. Robert, author of Christian Mission: How Christianity Became a World Religion

"An absolutely superb book. Christianity in the Twentieth Century succeeds admirably in illuminating an extremely complex historical phenomenon."--Mark A. Noll, author of The New Shape of World Christianity: How American Experience Reflects Global Faith



Review Quotes




"[Christianity in the Twentieth Century] will find its place as a core text in the study of global Christianity and represents a tremendous effort to tie together disparate and far-flung outposts of the religion. . . . [T]his is World Christianity par excellence."---David C. Kirkpatrick, Journal of Religion
