Title: Critical Topic, but there are better sources
Product review: The "center" and growth of Christianity is no longer in the West (if it ever was). African missiologist Lamin Sanneh uses a question and answer format to address issues and inform the reader about the growth, theology, and practice of Christianity outside of the West. Although this is a vital topic, Sanneh's writing style is often difficult to comprehend. The title alone enticed me to read this book and hoped to consider it for a course, but I was disappointed because of the format, [lack of] accessibility in the writing style, and content. I would instead recommend Philip Jenkins' booksThe Next Christendom: The Coming of Global ChristianityandThe New Faces of Christianity: Believing the Bible in the Global Southfor much more readable and in-depth looks at Christianity beyond the West.
