世界基督教

世界基督教（英语：World Christianity，可释作世界基督宗教或普世基督教）或 全球基督教（Global Christianity）是个学术名词，它尝试表达基督教的全球化特质，尤其着重“非西方基督教”在基督教信仰上的诠释，即“全球南方”(The Global South)地域，如亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲等大洲对基督教的理解。^[1]此外，这词也尝试了解散落在西欧和北美洲的本土基督教信仰。^[2]

“世界基督教”此词最早出现于法兰西·约翰·麦康诺在1929年的文献^[3]和亨利·P·范杜森在1947年的文献。^[4]宣教历史学家肯尼思．斯科特．赖德烈也曾以“世界基督教团契”^[5]和“世界基督教群体”^[6]等类似名词表达相近意思。对这些学者来说，世界基督教本应用作宣扬基督教宣教观和教会合一, 但是在第二次世界大战后，由于去殖民化和国家独立等事件，宣教事工在许多国家如朝鲜、中国以及部分亚洲和非洲国家已停顿，世界基督教此名词也因此而失去了原有的概念。^[7]

现在此名词已甚少强调宣教和教会合一。^[7]然而，由于很多历史学家意识到廿世纪基督教的“全球转移”(Global Shift), 即基督教的重心由欧洲和北美洲等地转移至全球南方,^[8]^[9]^[10]现在“世界基督教”多用作形容基督教在二千多年历史中的多样性。^[7]

另一个与“世界基督教”相关的名词是“全球基督教”。对学者拉明·珊拿来说，“全球基督教”是一种欧洲认知的基督教，只强调复制欧洲的基督教模式，而对比起来,“世界基督教”更能对基督教福音的多样性作出本土回应。^[11]

世界基督教的著名学者包括安德鲁·华尔斯、^[12] 拉明·珊拿^[13] 、拜仁·士丹利^[14]和黛娜·罗伯特。前三位学者均活跃于“宣教运动与世界基督教耶鲁-爱丁堡群组”。^[15]近期，克劳斯·科施尼克和“慕尼黑学派”里的世界基督教学科也尝试研究世界基督教的多样性。^[16] 除了这几个历史学家外，最近也有不少神学家尝试从系统神学的角度理解世界基督教，如灵恩派的韦利马蒂·卡维里^[17]和天主教的潘彼得。^[18]
