Global Christianity as a book category explores the faith’s worldwide expressions, developments, and impacts beyond a single cultural or national context. It includes histories of Christianity’s spread and indigenization, comparative studies of belief and practice across regions (especially Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the global South), analyses of mission, migration, and diaspora communities, and examinations of how local cultures reshape theology, liturgy, and church structures. Works in this category use interdisciplinary approaches—history, sociology, anthropology, theology, and political science—to address topics such as religious change, ecumenical and interfaith relations, Pentecostal and charismatic movements, postcolonial critique, and Christianity’s role in global social and political issues. The category is aimed at readers interested in how Christianity functions as a diverse, transnational phenomenon and how global forces and local contexts continuously shape one another.
