The New Faces of Christianity

The New Faces of Christianity: Believing the Bible in the Global South, another piece by Philip Jenkins, referenced just the other day on groshlink comes out in October. Place it on your Christmas list. Here's a quote:

the experience of the emerging churches must make us rethink the role of the Old Testament . . . Southern readings can help us exorcize the stubborn ghost of Marcion, a task that Christian churches need to repeat with some regularity.

Amen. Looking forward to more from the prolific Penn State History Scholar!
