    About this ebook

    • 2010 Christianity Today Book Award winner

    With characteristic rigor and insight, in this book Mark Noll revisits the history of the American church in the context of world events. He makes the compelling case that how Americans have come to practice the Christian faith is just as globally important as what the American church has done in the world. Noll backs up this substantial claim with the scholarly attentiveness we've come to expect from him, lucidly explaining the relationship between the development of Christianity in North America and the development of Christianity in the rest of the world, with attention to recent transfigurations in world Christianity. Here is a book that will challenge your assumptions about the nature of the relationship between the American church and the global church in the past and predict what world Christianity may look like.

      Interesting and compelling thesis that the reason Developing World Christianity is patterned after US Christianity is not so much because of American influence but rather because of similar conditions surrounding the birth and development of each.
