Persecuted Post-Western Christianity and the Post-Christian West

The startlingly rapid growth of Christianity outside the West (particularly Pentecostal Christianity) has been met with significant religious persecution, and radicalized versions of Islam are implicated. Neither the radical secularism nor the radically liberal Christianity that is so common in the contemporary West (especially in Europe) is likely to inspire realistic and effective responses to the problem of religiously-motivated violence. As it seeks the “hearts and minds” of global neighbors, the West should observe Christianity's positive impact in China, African nations, and elsewhere. This may inspire the West to reconsider its secularist habits and more sensitively and creatively contribute to positive realignments of the religio-political landscape
