The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity, Revised and Updated

Revised and expanded for a post-9/11 world. Hailed as a landmark look at Christianity's seismic shift away from Western centers, Jenkins's award-winning analysis explores the impact on international politics---and on growing Christian/Muslim conflicts. Examining Christendom's explosive expansion throughout the Southern Hemisphere, he paints a vivid portrait of the faith's fast-changing face worldwide. 316 pages, softcover from Oxford University.

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.
