"But, argues Philip Jenkins recently in the Atlantic Monthly, Christianity is the religion currently undergoing the most basic rethinking and the largest increase in adherents. He makes a good case for its militancy most affecting the next century."
''For obvious reasons,'' notes this professor of history and religious studies at Pennsylvania State University, ''news reports today are filled with material about the influence of a resurgent and sometimes angry Islam. But in its variety and vitality, in its global reach, in its association with the world's fastest-growing societies, in its shifting centers of gravity, in the way its values and practices vary from place to place--in these and other ways, it is Christianity that will leave the deepest mark on the 21st century.''
