ABSTRACT
Castillo Guerra draws our attention to the broader historical narrative behind the recent shift of Christianity’s center of gravity from north to south. He argues that established Christianity in the Western world emerged from its ancient origins in Judaism and adopted much from the Greco-Roman traditions. While providing a new look at the history of this development in the broader context of world Christianity, he sees the decline of established Christianity in the Western world as a new opportunity for Christianity as a whole. Today the church needs to rediscover the “plurality of primitive Christianity.”
