Philip Jenkins

The New Faces of Christianity

Believing the Bible in the Global South

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It's hard to overstate how interesting, how eye-opening, how frequently surprising (and sometimes disturbing) Jenkins' findings are. Anyone interested in the implications of these trends for the major denominations, for Muslim-Christian conflict, and for global politics will find The New Faces of Christianity provocative and incisive-and indispensable.
