Reviews
A welcome and valuable addition. It is full of instructive stories, abundantly documented, from Russia to Mozambique, from Korea to Argentina, raising essential questions about a fundamental issue for Christians today: what it means to be a World Church, and how we can function as such. --Andrew F. Walls, University of Edinburgh, Liverpool Hope University and Akroffi-Christaller Institute, Ghana As United Methodists seek to live into the reality of being a global denomination, it is critical that we expand our historical knowledge and broaden our scholarly vision to incorporate more stories of Methodists from outside the United States. This book serves as an invaluable resource in doing so. --David W. Scott, Director of Mission Theology at Global Ministries and blogmaster of UM & Global
