NCLA Review - This book introduces readers in the West to notable Christians from recent history in the non-Western world. Seventeen miniature biographies are included, covering Christians from Southern, West, and East Africa, India, Korea, and China. Clouds of Witnesses is a companion volume to Mark Noll's earlier book, The New Shape of World Christianity: How American Experience Reflects Global Faith (2009). The book is both historical and inspirational in approach. It may best be purchased in combination with Noll's earlier book, so that readers can access both the theory and historiographical approach on offer there. However, the strength of this book lies in its close attention to specific events, persons and circumstances in regions where Christianity is relatively new. Furthermore, because the book is divided into seventeen short biographies, small groups may find it accessible to read just one or two for discussion, and clergy and church leaders may find them edifying as stories to share in preaching and worship.

In seventeen narratives Mark Noll and Carolyn Nystrom introduce Christian leaders in Africa and Asia who had tenacious faith in the midst of deprivation, suffering and conflict. Spanning a century, from the 1880s to the 1980s, their stories demonstrate the vitality of the Christian faith in a diversity of contexts. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
