Named one of the top religion books of 2002 by USA Today, Philip Jenkins's phenomenally successful The Next Christendom permanently changed the way people think about the future of Christianity. In that volume, Jenkins called the world's attention to the little noticed fact that Christianity's center of gravity was moving inexorably southward, to the point that Africa may soon be home to the world's largest Christian populations. Now, in this brilliant sequel, Jenkins takes a much closer look at Christianity in the global South, revealing what it is like, and what it means for the future. The… (meer)

This is what I thought its predecessor, 'The Next Christendom,' would be: an actual depiction of Christianity in its new heartlands. Jenkins is particularly good on resisting the academic urge to paint post-colonial people as liberationists; he doesn't ignore the liberatory strands in African or Asian practices, but also frankly admits that the Christianities found around the world are only rarely the kind you find in north-east American Episcopalianism. I don't like that, but it seems to be a fact, so better to know about it than pretend every African bishop is a womanist eco-warrior. (

While The New Faces of Christianity focuses especially on the new expressions of Christian faith, it nevertheless is fascinating, indispensable reading (together with The Next Christendom) for all global-thinking Christians. The religious world is shifting far more rapidly than most North Americans are aware. In both works, Jenkins renders profound encouragement to the worldwide body of Christ, and with this book, the subtle admonition to preach and teach the Word, faithfully and context-creatively, could hardly be more eloquent.
