| As a person with an eastern heritage myself, I yearned for more information on Nestorians in my previous church history classes. And although everyone seemed to be much more aware of the objective view the American evangelicalism, no one really seemed to be knowledgeable when it came to the Christianity of the Eastern hemisphere, nor did they feel the need to know. However, this book sheds a bright light on the continuity of the early church and important lesson that comes with it.

| In The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity, Philip Jenkins paints a picture of the future of Christianity in colors unfamiliar to typical American thinking. He clearly delineates the characteristics of the rapidly growing Christian churches outside Western Europe and the United States: conservative and charismatic. He illustrates the potential conflicts between Christianity and other major religions such as Islam or Hinduism. And he speculates about what the effects will be on established ... Read More: |

| Phillip Jenkins, known as a student of the modern history of Christianity in The Next Christendom, in "God's Continent" aims to argue that the state of Christianity in Europe is not nearly so bad as is generally assumed by the press concerned about an Islamic takeover.
Whilst, were it true, this would be useful to remind people, Jenkins arguments cannot hold sway. He does point out radically declining fertility rates in Muslim nations surrounding Europe, but in reality this is most likely to suggest a long-term future of ... Read More: |

| Jenkins, who teaches history and religious studies at Pennsylvania State University, seems to have launched the public concern about sex abuse by Roman Catholic clergy with his Pedophiles and Priests, published in 2001.
The author of more than a dozen books, many of which treat religious themes, Jenkins here has set out a useful account of the constant vituperative and hostile language and bigoted stereotypes commonly found in much social and religious commentary in the United States on Roman Catholics and their faith.

| I kept going back and forth on this book: was it taking a broad brush holistic approach that helped you see things that should have been obvious at the time (yes) or was it a superficial view that just took the headlines of the times and arranged them into themes (yes).
The themes and holism were great, but left me wanting more. It would have been helpful if the author had decided to follow the evolution of the events in more detail, rather than leave me asking questions like: was this due to a demographic shift due to boomer aging, was it ... Read More: |

| OK, I was obliged to buy this book because I am a victim of the University textbook industry.
What this book really is, is a history of cults/ new religious movements in America. It is not a stand-alone piece of literature that deserves literary merit. In fact it is rather poorly written. My take on the publication of this book is that Universities and colleges need some type of textbook they can sell students. The end result is a text which gives superficial treatment, hopping from subject to subject. To get an in depth examination ... Read More: |

| Professor Jenkins has given us a brilliant response to the so-called "Jesus Seminar" theorists. Beginning with an in-depth analysis of the gospel of Thomas and Q, Dr. Jenkins exposes the anachronistic methods of the self-proclaimed Jesus scholars guided by their presuppositions alone. Rather than doing the work of objective historians following the facts, these hacks have seized upon our distrust of authority and Protestant assumptions in order to recreate the early church into their own image.
Dr. Ray Guarendi refers to the "new atheists" who do not claim to deny God but ... Read More: |

| Jenkins' book is a very well written and documented study of the various child sex abuse panics that have taken place during the past century. It demonstrates the role of the moral panic in the policy making process and shows how decisions have been made on popular opinion and misguided beliefs rather than solid facts. It is objectively written and is a very good resource for anyone interested in sex offender policy. The only down side of the book is its relatively limited information on moral panic theory as a general topic. For this, you will need to look at Goode and Ben Yehuda or Cohen. |
