World Christianity in History and in Culture

Abstract

Woven together like finely crafted fabric, world Christianity, history, and culture are always tightly interlaced. Historians realise that all Christians exist in a dynamic web of cultural and historical factors. There is a constant and perpetual interplay between Christianity, history, and culture that illuminates everything else around. This Special Issue of Religions probes the vast and colourful varieties of Christianity, from the apostolic era to today, with a preference for “lived religion." This Special Issue looks at the often-tumultuous relationship between Christianity and various global cultures. The geographical regions in this Special Issue encompass various locales in India, China, Ethiopia, Germany, and Southeast Asia.
