Is Europe on the brink of becoming \"Eurabia\"? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough many pundits are predicting just such a scenario, \u003cem\u003eGod's Continent\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the flaws in these arguments and offers a much more measured assessment of Europe's religious future. While frankly acknowledging current tensions, Philip Jenkins shows, for instance, that the overheated rhetoric about a Muslim-dominated Europe is based on politically convenient myths: that Europe is being imperiled by floods of Muslim immigrants, exploding Muslim birth-rates, and the demise of European Christianity. He points out that by no means are Muslims the only new immigrants in Europe. Christians from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe are also pouring into the Western countries, and bringing with them a vibrant and enthusiastic faith that is helping to transform the face of European Christianity. Jenkins agrees that both Christianity and Islam face real difficulties in surviving within Europe's secular culture. But instead of fading away, both have adapted, and are adapting. Yes, the churches are\u003cbr\u003ein decline, but there are also clear indications that Christian loyalty and devotion survive, even as institutions crumble. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe third book in an acclaimed trilogy that includes \u003cem\u003eThe Next Christendom\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe New Faces of Christianity, God's Continent\u003c\/em\u003e offers a realistic and historically grounded appraisal of the future of Christianity in a rapidly changing Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Jenkins\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the world's leading religion scholars joined Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion as Distinguished Professor of History and Co-Director for the Program on Historical Studies of Religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 06, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42562720890976,"sku":"9780195384628","price":32.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/OEcxYjA3OTlOcCtIWC9zSjZGSHF1Zz09.webp?v=1770364528","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/gods-continent-christianity-islam-and-europes-religious-crisis-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
