Reviews

[...] this book is currently one of the best-edited compendia on world Christianity. It achieves a remarkable uniformity of style, tone, and coverage across 38 chapters by 40 authors, with each chapter offering lively accounts of current trends. Christianity in South and Central Asia is an excellent offering in the Edinburgh Companions series.--Joel A. Carpenter, Calvin University, Grand Rapids, MI, USA "Mission Studies 37 (2)"
