Overview

A Global History of Christians probes the history of the church not only in Western civilization but also in its worldwide dimension, emphasizing the social, cultural, and popular aspects of that history. The book includes depictions of everyday life in various Christian communities, descriptions of native cultures as more than objects of missions, and analyses of key developments in society and economics. Sidebars, photos, illustrations, and maps enhance the text. Now available in paper. Originally titled God's Peoples. Reviews of the hardcover edition: ""The book represents a good combination of evangelical Christian faith and historical scholarship. It should enable evangelicals (especially theological students) to see their place in the total story of the Christian movement and to have a greater understanding of non-evangelical Christians.""--James A. Cogswell, Missiology ""Students have found the book to be interesting reading, enticing those for whom history formerly had little appeal...Our praise and thanks for a well-crafted piece of work.""--Luke L. Keefer Jr., Ashland Theological Journal ""The book ...is quite reliable. It is recommended for class textbook use and as introductory reading for people who want to know more about the history of the peoples who compose the Christian church."""" --Daniel Augsburger, Andrews University Seminary Studies""
