Description
Christianity at the Crossroads offers a sweeping historical analysis of the global Christian church across five centuries of technological and social upheaval. Author David N. Hempton traces how the print revolution fundamentally altered religious discourse, democratized access to scripture, and enabled the spread of diverse Christian movements worldwide.
Moving through successive eras of communication technology, Hempton examines how Christianity navigated the challenges and opportunities of each transition—from printing presses to telegraph, radio, television, and ultimately the internet. The book explores key themes including missionary expansion, denominational fragmentation, ecumenical movements, and the rise of Christianity in the Global South.
This scholarly work demonstrates how technological change intersects with theological development, institutional reform, and cultural adaptation. Essential reading for historians of religion, church leaders, and anyone seeking to understand Christianity’s evolving role in the modern world.
