Abstract
“Diversity” predominates as the main message of the book Christianity in North America, the seventh in a series from Edinburgh University Press on Christianity in the world’s regions. It includes extensive demographic data from the World Christian Database (Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary), twenty-nine chapters on US regions, ethnic groups, ecclesiastical traditions, and specific themes (such as Faith and Culture, Theology, Immigration and Xenophobia, Media)—with some of these chapters including comparisons with the material presented in the six chapters devoted to Canada, St. Pierre and Miquelon, Greenland, and Bermuda. Reckoning with a history of White oppression of Natives and Blacks features prominently in many of the chapters.
