Description
Résumé:This article was originally delivered as the keynote address at the 2019 Yale-Edinburgh Conference on mission history. It charts three phases in the historical development of the interlocking academic discourses of mission studies and World Christianity, with special reference to their context in North American mainline Protestant academia since 1910. It further focuses on the provenance of the Yale-Edinburgh Conference and argues for its importance in the naming of World Christianity as a field of study. The author reflects on her own experiences in the emergence of World Christianity as a contemporary academic discourse.
