Reviews

"Excellent...Case writes with verve, treats his subjects with respect, and covers fascinating material... [T]his book will appeal to a wide audience while stimulating lively debate."--Church History
"American missionaries went out to bring religious change to other countries, but in this highly original study, Jay Case shows that new Christian movements emerging in 19th-century Africa and Asia changed Christianity in America. 'World Christianity' is not just a feature of our times; it was already influencing American religion and culture 150 years ago. This book will change the way we think about missions and American history."
--Joel Carpenter, Professor of History and Director of the Nagel Institute, Calvin College
"Jay Riley Case has written an exciting book."--International Bulletin of Missionary Research
"I will not keep you in suspense. This is a brilliant book that should be read by everyone
who is interested in the global dynamics of contemporary Christianity...Case has given Evangelicals a marvelous historical resource."--Christian Scholar's Review
