An essential source and textbook for the study of World Christianity. The arrangement is appealing, scholarly and attractive. I look forward to using this collection in my research. This work by eminent European [German and Swiss] scholars is accessible and inviting.

The cover is boring. The title is bare bones. But the text is readable and interesting. Clips from contemporary writings open the past to the present. I recommend Koschorke's book without reservation.
