An Unpredictable Gospel: American Evangelicals and World Christianity, 1812-1920
Case, Jay Riley (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, Malone University, Canton, OH)
The astonishing growth of Christianity in the global south over the course of the twentieth century has sparked an equally rapid growth in studies of ''World Christianity,'' which have dismantled the notion that Christianity is a Western religion. Jay Case examines the efforts of American evangelical missionaries in light of this new scholarship. He argues that if they were agents of imperialism, they were poor ones. Western missionaries had a dismal record ofconverting non-Westerners to Christianity.
