Etappen der Globalisierung in christentumsgeschichtlicher Perspektive Phases of Globalization in the History of Christianity

This volume edited by Klaus Koschorke contains the proceedings of the Fifth International Munich-Freising Conference 2011 which discussed four paradigms of (trans-) continental networking from different epochs in the history of Christianity: on the one hand the East Syrian-"Nestorian" "Church of the East" and the Jesuits as "global players" in the era of Iberian overseas expansion, on the other German Pietism in 18th century in its international context, and the Protestant missionary movement around the World Missionary Conference Edinburgh 1910 which marked a peak in the process of intra-Christian globalization and became the starting point of the ecumenical movement of the 20th century.
