Today the majority of Christians live in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, making Christianity a world religion as never before in history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiven that global reality, Klaus Koschorke, Frieder Ludwig, and Mariano Delgado have created the first comparative documentary history of Christianity for these regions covering the period 1450-1990. Taking the changing ecumenical conditions into account, this volume enlarges the horizon of classical church historiography. In contrast to the prevailing Western perspectives on the history of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, voice is given here to the multitude of local initiatives, specific experiences, and varieties of Christianity in very diverse cultural contexts -- addressing such questions as the colonial conquest, slavery, and the demand for ecclesiastical independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLudwig, Frieder:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Frieder Ludwig teaches at Mission Seminary in Hermannsburg.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKoschorke, Klaus:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Klaus Koschorke is professor and chairman of the Departmentof Church History at the University of Munich, Germany.","brand":"William B.
