Now in its third edition, Christianity as a World Religion locates the Christian faith within its global context. Structured by geographical region, it covers Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania, showing how Christianity is locally rooted in different communities. It considers the history of the spread and reception of Christianity within each region; distinctive forms of church, worship and theology; the interreligious relations of the churches; and Christian interaction with society, politics, and economics.

New to this edition:
- further coverage of the role of migration and transnational movements
- more attention to the intersections between peoples, churches, regions and communities
- explicit coverage of race and race theory, and gender and sexuality, theory and method
- relevant updates throughout, including #blacklivesmatters, climate-change, rituals, US Roman Catholicism, and Hispanic migration, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The book includes study questions, maps, and 40 images. Online resources provide additional case studies for use by instructors. Methodologies covered include religious studies, theology, history, and cultural, social and development studies and is ideal for courses on World Christianity, Christianity as a Global Religion, the History of Christianity and contemporary Christian theology.
