World Christianity
Christianity as a world religion / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World Christianity or global Christianity has been defined both as a term that attempts to convey the global nature of the Christian religion[1][2][3] and an academic field of study that encompasses analysis of the histories, practices, and discourses of Christianity as a world religion and its various forms as they are found on the six continents.[4] However, the term often focuses on "non-Western Christianity" which "comprises (usually the exotic) instances of Christian faith in 'the global South', in Asia, Africa, and Latin America."[5] It also includes Indigenous or diasporic forms of Christianity in the Caribbean,[6] South America,[6] Western Europe,[7] and North America.[7]
