This complete visual reference to Christianity worldwide is an invaluable resource for missionary organizations, intercessors, church leaders, and missions-minded believers everywhere!

The Atlas of World Christianity offers a rare, panoramic snapshot of the Christian world at the turn of the millennium, including an in-depth look at expected growth trends through 2010. Combining colorful charts, graphs, and maps with fascinating, timely articles, authors Peter Brierley and Heather Wraight provide a thorough examination of the present status of Christianity in every nation of the world.

This important volume examines recent history and future trends in areas such as population growth, literacy, education, economic development, and the spread of AIDS. Careful consideration is also given to other major world religions and the extent of their impact.

The Atlas of World Christianity is a strategic tool for mission leaders, planners, and all students of missiology. It will motivate, inform, and assist any believer who seeks to understand what God is doing among the nations and to impact the world for Jesus Christ.

"The Atlas of World Christianity visually documents the state of the Christian church and the missionary movement worldwide, in light of the larger context of global trends and other world religions. It should prove useful to pastors and mission committees seeking ways to engage the congregation in the challenge of mission."
