People's History of Christianity, A : Volume 7 : Twentieth - Century Global Christianity
Outline: From Global to Local, the many faces of global Christianity - As they have from the very first century, the highly diverse and creative religious lives of ordinary Christians have decisively engaged the enormous developments of the twentieth century. However tentatively they can all be pieced together, these are some of their stories. Whether in the sugar cane fields of Central America or the cathedrals of Europe or the jails of Eastern Europe, popular Christianity has displayed a variety of movements, currents, and countercurrents that invite yet defy explanation. In these engrossing and visually rich chapters, expert observers of Christian traditions and peoples showcase the multiple trajectories and rich ambiguity, the innovation and transformation, the retrenchment and accommodation that have characterized Christianity in what is arguably its most engrossing era ever. Along with the editor Mary Farrell Bednarowski, the illustrious contributors to this volume include: Victoria J. Barnett, Margaret Bendroth, Oscar Cole-Arnal, Valerie DeMarinis, Eleazar S. Fernandez, Bruce Davis Forbes, Patrick Henry, Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, Paul Mojzes, Mark A. Noll, Mercy Amba Oduyoye, Ann M. Pederson,
