Charles Farhadian's impressive volume makes a timely and path breaking contribution to the study of Christian movements outside of Europe and North America. Moving beyond the heavily historical and Africa-centered works of earlier authors, this volume draws insights from many disciplines. Moreover, it examines world areas that have been largely omitted from discussions of 'World Christianity', for instance, societies of the south Pacific. The novel approach that stresses the embodied practices of world Christians balances an earlier wave of scholarship that stressed the centrality of the spoken and translated word in global Christian expansion. -Chandra Mallampalli
