Zusammenfassung:Combines empirical data and original analysis to offer a uniquely detailed account of Christianity in North America. Profiles Christianity in the United States, Canada, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Greenland and Bermuda, accompanied with attractive presented statistics and demographics. Dedicates chapters to BIPOC communities: First Nations Christians in Canada and Native American, Black/African American, Hispanic and Asian American Christians in the United States. Written by local scholars. Examines each of the major Christian traditions - Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, Anglicans, Evangelicals, Pentecostals/Charismatics and Independents - as they are finding expression in North America. Assesses the direction of Christian faith in North America in relation to 12 key themes: faith and culture; worship and spirituality; theology; social and political context; mission and evangelism; gender; religious freedom; inter-religious relations; immigration and xenophobia; Christian nationalism; ecology; and media. This reference volume takes a deep dive into Christianity in every country in North America, presenting reliable demographic information alongside original interpretative essays by locally based scholars and practitioners. It maps patterns of growth and decline, assesses major traditions and movements, analyses key themes and examines current trends. By giving an exhaustive account of Christianity in every part of North America, this volume will become a standard work of reference in its field.Split into 5 sections, the volume provides essential context, interpretation and statistics in the Introductions, Conclusions and Appendices.
