I am pleased to announce on behalf of one of the editors (a friend and former colleague) the new Atlas of Global Christianity. It is published by Edinburgh University Press and is due out later this year. I believe there are still plans to officially unveil it at Edinburgh 2010, the centenary conference commemorating the 1910 World Missionary Conference.
For those interested, the Atlas’ table of contents can be viewed by clicking here. I saw some preliminaries when I met with my friend in Oxford a bit ago and I know the Atlas is chalked full of provocative full-color maps, has essays from a who’s who of contributors, and even includes an interactive dvd. I’m also happy to see that Chinese artist He Qi contributes the cover image (he’s become rather popular for books of this nature, one of which, I’m pleased to say, is mine).
So cheers! to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, its director, and the entire team on this wonderful acclomplishment and contribution.
FOR A LIMITED TIME (until 31 August 2009) order the Atlas directly from EUP and get it for 60% off! See here for details (click on “pre-order leaflet,” print the last page, and complete the appropriate section).
