“World Christianity” not only refers to a phenomenon of global manifestation of Christianity, but also indicates a new trend in mission studies. In recent decades, the term has appeared in academic discussions, professorships, journals, and publications. In seminaries and divinity schools, “world Christianity” has emerged as an area of study and in course offerings. (We can easily observe such a trend in Anglo-American academia.)In view of developments since the 1970s, today’s studies in world Christianity are experiencing a renaissance. Various lectures,symposia, consultations, projects, and organizations that bear the name of world Christianity are indications of this trend. Even a new genre of Christian reference has been created in the field of mission and world Christianity―“missiometrics” such as World Christian Encyclopedia, World Christian Trends, and World Christian Database. The concept of world Christianity is not simply a geographical rendering. It comprises missional, cross-cultural, and global nature of the Christian gospel. With these views in mind, world Christianity embraces cultural and theological agenda encountered in non-Western contexts in doing theology and history. The emerging consciousness of world Christianity is apparent in other theological disciplines such as biblical commentary, systematic theology, and church historiography. This article briefly examines this trend in four areas―academic titles, publication projects, study centers, and source materials. The purpose of this article is to introduce a new trend in mission studies and to provide various resources and information as well.
Abstract
“World Christianity” not only refers to a phenomenon of global manifestation of Christianity, but also indicates a new trend in mission studies. In recent decades, the term has appeared in academic discussions, professorships, journals, and publications. In seminaries and divinity schools, “world Christianity” has emerged as an area of study and in course offerings. (We can easily observe such a trend in Anglo-American academia.)In view of developments since the 1970s, today’s studies in world Christianity are experiencing a renaissance. Various lectures,symposia, consultations, projects, and organizations that bear the name of world Christianity are indications of this trend. Even a new genre of Christian reference has been created in the field of mission and world Christianity―“missiometrics” such as World Christian Encyclopedia, World Christian Trends, and World Christian Database. The concept of world Christianity is not simply a geographical rendering. It comprises missional, cross-cultural, and global nature of the Christian gospel.
