Reviews

Philip Jenkin's masterpiece 'The Next Christendom'..has altered the entire public conversation about global Christianity. 'God's continent' is just as good...this one is a gem, abounding in sparkling points, telling anecdotes, observations and statistics...Another seminal book to be sure. Meic Pearce The Third Way [Jenkins] has produced an eminently readable and yet magisterial work, marked through-out by differentiated and reasoned judgements. The Very Revd Dr John Arnold, The Church Times Remarkable... a brilliant book. Christian W. Troll, The Tablet God's Continent portrays a fascinating picture of Islam and Christianity and is a much needed, well-balanced account of the vocal and valuable role that religion continues to play in public life. s ...rich in information and discussion...both scholarly and objective [and] written with clarity...
