'This revised and updated third edition of 'Christianity as a World Religion', provides in lucid prose a well-documented fascinating account of diverse expressions of Christianity in all the continents from its inception to the present day from a global, ecumenical and post-colonial perspective. The authors attempt to show how Christianity is locally rooted and the same time globally connected through increased immigration and networks, is a unique contribution.'

Peter Vethanayagamony, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, USA

'This volume manages to cover an extraordinary amount of subject matter. In doing so, it presents a unique and essential peripheral vision of the global phenomenon that is Christianity. As an introductory text it is much needed.'

Jack Cunningham, Bishop Grosseteste University, UK

'Methodologically rich and substantive in its coverage, if you are looking for a comprehensive study of world Christianity, this is the volume.'

Lalsangkima Pachuau, Asbury Theological Seminary, USA

'This is the go-to primer on the story of Christianity's expanse and the issues it has faced around the globe. Readers will find this third edition, with deepened discussions and updated topics, a welcome revision to an already excellent book.'

Alexander Chow, University of Edinburgh, UK

'Christianity as a World Religion traverses the rich tapestry of Christian traditions, examining cultural, historical, and social dimensions with precision and nuance. Kim and Kim masterfully balance Christianity's universality and locality, which encompasses a multitude of traditions, interpretations, and practices. This book stands out for its scholarly depth and accessible prose. I have used earlier editions of this book as a main textbook in undergraduate and graduate courses and frequently recommend them to anyone seeking to understand Christianity as a world religion..'

Soojin Chung, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA

'In the midst of a boom in publications on World Christianity, the already classic study by Sebastian and Kirsteen Kim – now in a third and revised edition - deserves special attention. It offers innovative approaches to “Christianity as a World Religion”. Arranged by continents, it describes Christianity as a globally widespread and locally rooted movement, with a special focus on processes of “globalization from below”. Indispensable for future research.'

Klaus Koschorke, University of Munich, Germany
