"This book is a helpful anthology of historical sources on Christianity's expansion across the centuries. The numbered segments provide a good outline of some of the major phases of the religion's historical course, but also of the cultural themes of engagement and challenge. It should be a welcome resource for teaching."

These scholars have done a fine job in collecting relevant documents, with plenty of surprising and enlightening choices, and the book makes for fascinating reading. It should be of enormous value to both students and general readers."

"A History of Christianity in Asia, Africa, and Latin America is a fascinating and highly informative documentary sourcebook. This first comparative history of Christianity for these regions offers a remarkably wide range of sources from the early modern period to the present. The inspiring tour of more than 500 years of religious globalization sheds a bright new light on the intercultural and interreligious encounters in diverse cultural contexts. This rich ecumenical collection of cross-cultural texts will become a standard for scholars, students, and a wider readership interested in Christianity and its global mission."
