Drawing upon the extensive new scholarship that has appeared on this topic in recent years, he asks how the new Christianity is likely to affect the poor, among whom it finds its most devoted adherents. How should we interpret the enormous success of prosperity churches across the Global South? Politically, what will be the impact of new Christian movements? Will Christianity contribute to liberating the poor, to give voices to the previously silent, or does it threaten only to bring new kinds of division and conflict? Does Christianity liberate women, or introduce new scriptural bases for subjection? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcclaim for previous editions of \u003cem\u003eThe Next Christendom\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNamed one of the Top Religion Books of 2002 by \u003cem\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNamed One of the Top Ten Religion Books of the Year by \u003cem\u003eBooklist (2002)\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of the \u003cem\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/em\u003e Book Award in the category of \"Christianity and Culture\" (2002) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Jenkins is to be commended for reminding us, throughout the often gripping pages of this lively work...that the history of Christianity is the history of innovative--and unpredictable--adaptations.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This is a landmark book.
