Reviews
"This book encapsulates what many regard as Andrew Walls' central contribution to the diachronic Christian understanding of who we are and how we became that way: Christian conversion. Each of the eight chapters serves as one sparkling facet of a diamond unearthed through skillful excavation of the deepest and richest veins of the Christian story. If I were back in the classroom, this book would be required reading."-- Jonathan Bonk, Research Professor of Mission Studies, Boston University "Andrew F. Walls 'converted' all of us by focusing his writings and lectures on conversion away from a phenomenon that historically had been associated with Western religious hegemony and imperialism, coercion, and demonization of cultures, to mean a process in which we literally submit to Christ all we are and all we have. These refreshing essays by Walls, ably edited by Mark Gornik, move the discourses on conversion to a new level that accommodates developments in Christianity as a non-Western religion." -- Most Rev. Prof. J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, Presiding Bishop, Methodist Church Ghana
Synopsis
Edited with an Introduction by Mark R. Gornik The final work of the renowned scholar of world Christianity offers a concise and illuminating exploration of key moments in the cultural history of Christianity, illustrating the underlying dynamism faith in new cultural contexts, This brief book interpret key moments in the cultural history of Christianity as they illustrate the underlying dynamic of faith in new cultural contexts. Drawn from lectures originally delivered in 1996, in many ways Walls saw this work as a synthesis of his essential insights on Christian mission and conversion: "a serial process in which Christianity has encountered successive cultures and found expression within them, often withering in the areas of its apparently greater strength and finding new homes in quite different soil." This justified, for Walls, "a retelling of the story in terms of Christian interaction with successive cultures, picking up a hint in the Epistle to the Ephesians, that all are necessary to the full-grown humanity which will one day be revealed in Christ.", A short book aiming at an interpretation of key moments in the cultural history of Christianity as they illustrate the underlying dynamic of faith in new cultural contexts. The aim is to interpret the emergence of World Christians as a major world-historical and Christian-theological event.
