Reviews"[Christianity in the Twentieth Century] will find its place as a core text in the study of global Christianity and represents a tremendous effort to tie together disparate and far-flung outposts of the religion. . . . [T]his is World Christianity par excellence." ---David C. Kirkpatrick, Journal of Religion, "Stanley's excellent book makes an original contribution to the history of modern Christianity. This is a fine piece of work from a master historian. It will stand the test of time." --Dana L. Robert, author of Christian Mission: How Christianity Became a World Religion
