If the great commission is about people, why do we represent it with geographic maps? Geographic maps skew our perception of the task. Huge, unpopulated areas look like a priority, while geographically small regions with huge populations (like Bangladesh and Java) are overlooked, and the diverse populations of single but large countries (like India and China) are under-represented. This world map is a cartogram based on 2020 population estimates. Each pixel represents 100,000 people while the shading indicates the percentage of professing Evangelicals.
