The Southward Shift of Christianity

To the Editor:

In response to Philip Jenkins's "A New Christendom" (The Review, March 29), I would like to point out that "the popular evangelical magazine Christian History" printed its list of the "hundred most important events in Church history" in 1990, not 2000. Aside from a quibble that Augustine was African, and the fact that we certainly mentioned him, Jenkins correctly diagnoses our Whiggishness.

Of course, significantly less work on "the Third Church" was available
