In time, their increased openness catalyzed a revolution in thinking among European Christians about the nature of Christianity itself. At a moment when Europe's Christian population is falling behind those of South America and Africa, Wu's provocative analysis sheds light on the roots of Christianity's global shift. 606 $aChurch history$y19th century 606 $aChurch history$y20th century 607 $aChina$2fast 607 $aChina$2gnd 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aChurch history 676 $a266.02343051 700 $aWu$b Albert Monshan, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01249584 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148637603321 996 $aFrom Christ to Confucius$92895742 997 $aUNINA
