These essays are a fitting tribute to Joel Carpenter, the well-known facilitator and collaborator of the
study of World Christianity as an academic discipline in and outside of the USA. His perception of
God’s work in the world, his administrative abilities, his financial acumen, his intellectual honesty,
and winning personality strengthen senior and younger scholars of World Christianity. Following his
precepts, the essayists explore vital expressions of World Christianity in their living contexts.
