GLOBALIZATION, SOUTHERN CHRISTIANITY, AND PROSELYTISM

Christianity has become a truly global religion, and this applies to its mission dimension as well. For this reason, assessing the relationship between Christian missions and global attitudes to "proselytism" requires more than understanding globalization and geopolitical realities. It also requires an appreciation of the global nature of those doing missions. A whole new range of Protestant missionary-sending countries has emerged, including South Korea, the Philippines, India, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, and Guatemala.
