Reviews"The editors have recruited squadrons of experts, pulled their chapters into well integrated order, and themselves offered unusually useful summaries and conclusions. The treatment of traditional themes and historical Christian regions is superb, but even better is the innovative work on fresh subjects and new Christian areas of the globe." --Mark A. Noll for The Christian Century, ' ... this is an admirable collection that brings readers the latest thinking on a wide variety of fields.' Contemporary Review, 'This latest volume in this prestigious series looks at what is arguably the most important century in Christian history, whether in Western Europe, Britain, the United States, the British Empire or the Far East. … this is an admirable collection that brings readers the latest thinking on a wide variety of fields.'

Noll, The Christian Century, "...the editors and writers are to be congratulated on bringing order out of a difficult but fascinating period...it must be said that CUP has not departed from its usual standards of production.
