After many years of expectation, the second installment of Moffett's monumental project has reached fruition (a third volume is in the works). Volume II is almost fifty percent longer than Volume I, and the scope of its inquiry covers material that other scholars only tackle in small, specialized pieces. In twenty-eight chapters of consistently lively narrative, Moffett describes the missionary efforts of Catholics and Protestants and the fortunes of indigenous churches in India, southeast Asia, Japan, China, Korea, the Philippines, the Middle East, and Indonesia. As the growth of world Christianity shifts from West to East, North to South, and First World to the Third, Moffett's work stands out as the most complete of its kind. Includes maps, detailed notes, and a sixty-page bibliography. 768 pp.
