The New Faces of Christianity by Philip Jenkins
Christians in the churches of Africa, Asia, and Latin America live in settings very close to the social, cultural, and intellectual milieu in which the New Testament itself was written. For this reason, this book argues, they read the Scriptures with a freshness impossible in the prosperous societies of North America and Europe.
