"A new reality is just beginning to dawn on us. For years it was thought that Christianity was a western religion, and that the rest of the world had their own faiths. In the last twenty years, more and more people in Europe and the U.S. have been thunderstruck to discover that Christianity is growing at a rate 7-10 times faster than the population in Africa and Asia, and that it is even beginning to spread for the first time in places like India. In short, the new centers of Christian strength are going to be in the non-western world, and that may be the most powerful history-changing force in the world during the next couple of centuries.
In other words, the missionary movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, in which European and American missionaries took the Christian faith to other parts of the world, has changed the course of history in a way that is completely unlooked for. How did this movement begin? What kind of people were its pioneers?
In this previously untold story, we find some important clues."
Dr Timothy Keller - Senior Pastor: Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City.
