It can't do everything. *by B***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2012* This is a response to the reviewers who gave the book between 1 and three stars. My primary observation is that there is no way that a book aimed at a popular audience can touch all bases, personalities, issues, and prognostications. Let us be thankful that Jenkins has made known to us something about "Christianity South" and "Christianity East."I was quite surprised, for example, at the relative growth of Christianity versus Islam in sub-Saharan Africa (by the way, that is everything in Africa south of the Sahara, down to the Cape of Good Hope.) But like some of the complaints from the one and two star reviewers, there is not much said about the explanation for this fact, except to suggest that African Christianity has found its own source of inspiration, and grows on that. It is no longer driven by European and American missionaries. But there is no citation for "Liberation Theology" in the index, which I found odd. This is a sign that the author's primary interest is demographic and social, not theological.If you order a used copy, you want to be sure you are getting the third edition. I compared the table of contents for the first and third editions, and there is much added, especially on "The Rise of the New Christianity". On a contemporary topic, you will be missing something if you don't have the latest edition.If you are interested in world Christianity, you can hardly find anything as illuminating as this 3rd Edition popular book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Case for Optimism *by N***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2011* The Next Christendom is a much-needed antidote to the pessimism of so many American Christians about the future of Christianity in the world. Jenkins paints a compelling picture of a vibrant and growing Christian faith in Africa and Asia - a faith with many weaknesses, to be sure, but one that is in many ways on the right track and growing in the right direction.Christians have confessional reasons to be optimistic about the future of the church - Daniel 2 says the kingdom will grow, and Jesus made it clear that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church he is building. He ascended to heaven as one who has received all authority in heaven and on earth. The church's victory is along the path of suffering and death - but it is victory nonetheless. Jenkins argues that we can see this growth happening around the world. Whatever weaknesses - and even decline - we may think is present in the West, Western Christians need to fight their myopic tendencies and broaden their sense of the kingdom. We should be able to be excited about what God is doing around the world. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Broaden your perspective of what is called Christianity in the modern world *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2023* This book offers the reader a world-wide perspective of Christianity. The reader will learn much about where the religion has been and where it may possibly be going.However, the reader should also be prepared to engage with the author’s use of the term “Christian” in a very broad sense. The author purposefully rejects making the necessary judgments about what actually forms the essential beliefs and practices of Christianity.In short, the book is valuable as an informative and globally-minded perspective of Christianity as a social, a religious, and even a political movement. But the book is greatly lacking in its attempt to draw out the distinctions between what merely claims to be Christian and what actually is Christian in the world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8171727-philip-jenkinsthe-next-christendom-the-coming-of-global-christianity-future](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8171727-philip-jenkinsthe-next-christendom-the-coming-of-global-christianity-future) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
