Global Christianity

World Christianity or Global Christianity has been defined both as a term that attempts to convey the global nature of the Christian religion and an academic field of study that encompasses analysis of the histories, practices, and discourses of Christianity as a world religion and its various forms as they are found on the six continents. However, the term often focuses on “non-Western Christianity” which “comprises (usually the exotic) instances of Christian faith in ‘the global South’, in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.” It also includes Indigenous or diasporic forms of Christianity in the Caribbean, South America, Western Europe, and North America.
