He explores the intriguing new forms Christianity took in the nineteenth century, the evolution of sects such as Mormonism and Jehovahs witnesses, and its mission to Africa. Adair also interrogates Christianitys role in the modern world, as he surveys liturgical, geographical and denominational perspectives of contemporary Christianity. He concludes by investigating how Christians interact with modern culture, particularly science, the arts, ethics, political and other religions.
