Tracing Christianity's rise from its birth on the edge of the Roman empire-when it proclaimed itself to be a religion for the entire world, not just for one people, one time, and one place-to its key role in Europe's maritime and colonial expansion, Sanneh sheds new light on the ways in which post-Western societies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America were drawn into the Christian orbit. Ultimately, he shows, these societies outgrew Christianity's colonial forms and
restructured it through their own languages and idioms-a process that often occurred outside, and sometimes against, the lines of denominational control.
