Boundless: What Global Expressions of Faith Teach Us About Following Jesus

Bryan Bishop. Publisher: Baker Books, 2015.

Reviewed by Laura A. Chevalier, doctoral student, Boston University School of Theology.

Synopsis

Few topics have captured the attention of the contemporary Church like the phenomenal growth of Christianity in the Global South and the increase of those who identify as “Nones” in the West. The Christian faith looks more diverse than ever and has moved beyond the bounds of the West, presenting endless opportunities for study. At the same time, concern for organized religion in the West has led to a plethora of scholarship focused on analyzing and reaching the “Nones.” While most authors focus on one of these topics, Bryan Bishop combines them and proposes that the West might have something to learn from growing Jesus movements worldwide.

Reporting Challenges for Movements in a World of Misinformation and Persecution

By Stan Parks | Globally, 1,965 church planting movements (CPMs) are being reported, with approximately 90% of these among current or former unreached people groups. These reports have been compiled by the 24:14 Coalition. Our primary goal has been to find out where the unreached are being reached so we can identify the gaps where the unreached are not being reached. But in the process, we have shared information about movements, globally and regionally, which has led to some people feeling frustrated when they cannot know more.
