From Times Square to Timbuktu

From Times Square to Timbuktu: The Post-Christian West Meets the Non-Western Church
By Wesley Granberg-Michaelson (Eerdmans)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

Global Christianity is being transformed from Times Square to Timbuktu. Granberg-Michaelson provides a brief history of the growth of the church in the South and East, as well as the ecclesial stresses between the orthodox South and the secularized North. In the process he takes us on an ecumenical journey of the future showing how the Western church should change with the global Christian tsunami that is hitting the shores of North America. He calls for the North American church to develop multicultural communities incorporating the immigrants of faith on our doorstep, which would result in the post-Christian West meeting the non-western church. This book will greatly assist church leaders in traversing the complex future path of the church in order to bring hope and reconciliation to our fractured world marked by cultural conformity and increasing polarization of ethnicity and economics. —Robert L. Gallagher, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
