“The challenge for American Christians is to be captivated by a picture of the church that is ancient and global, rather than by one that is Western and American. If the American church is to be saved, we must not onlv understand but also come to desire the influence coming from our historically marginalized communities and other Christians from around the world, which is an inalienable aspect of Christ's commission to his church by design.”

Such a great study of both the great shortfalls of the American church and the great opportunities it has to become more Christ-like in so many ways.
