This volume offers three major perspectives on the Christian Church in the modern period. The first is a political assessment through a prism of international conflicts and international relations. The second perspective is regional, covering not only to Europe and the Americas, but Christianity in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific Rim and Australasia. The third is institutional and looks at traditions and their relationships with other faiths and with wider cultures. An epilogue evaluates the future and prospects for Christianity in the new millennium.
