Jens Holger Schjørring & Norman A. Hjelm 
Geschichte des globalen Christentums 
Teil 2: 19. Jahrhundert

The way in which the world’s religions are intertwined in the dynamics of global development has become obvious in the twenty-first century. This also applies to Christianity. In view of the fact that its historiography is still predominantly regional or national, however, little is known about Christianity’s historical process of development to become a religion that is globally active and plurally differentiated.
The second volume presents a comprehensive, interdenominational and interdisciplinary history of global Christianity in the nineteenth century, for the first time in the German-speaking countries. Renowned theologians, (church) historians and historians trace the numerous upheavals associated with the ‘long nineteenth century’ that brought Christianity into the modern age.
