| Zusammenfassung: | Missiologists today speak routinely of the shift of Christianity to the Global South, but it was David B. Barrett who first described this trend. Many of the religious statistics cited by sociologists, demographers, scholars of world Christianity, the media, and others today can be traced to the work of Barrett and the 1982 World Christian Encyclopedia. Barrett strove to meld his scientific background with a missionary conviction to reach the unevangelized. In the process, he inadvertently laid the foundation for the contemporary academic field of international religious demography, a vital part of his mission research legacy. |
