Hjelm, Teol.Dr. (h.c.)

"Focusing more on movements, institutions, and geographical regions than on individual personalities, this resource will help nonspecialists and specialists alike map out topics for further research in the last 500 years of global church movements." - M.S. Hill, Liberty University in *Choice*, November 2018."The volumes take a fresh approach in presenting historical research from a global angle, so as to not be constrained by the typical European ethnocentric tunnel vision. Too often Church history was written and prescribed from a Eurocentric perspective, which is as much apparent in its terminology (e.g. Middle East, Near East) as in its proportional selection (more attention for the Atlantic axis). In this regard the series is a ‘Fundgrube’ of data, narratives, and historical reflections not hindered by cultural biases given with the false assumption that modernity and civilisation only started with the wake of Europe." - Henk Bakker, Free University Amsterdam, JEBS 21:1 (2021), pp. 201-203.
