Yet ecumenism and independency are better understood as existing in critical tension with one another. They provide a way of examining changes in World Christianity. Taking their lead from the internationally acclaimed research of Brian Stanley, in whose honour this book is published, contributors examine the entangled nature of ecumenism and independency in the modern global history of Christianity. They show how the scrutiny afforded by the attention to local, contextual approaches to Christianity outside the western world, may inform and enrich the attention to transnational connectivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026amp; Notes on Contributors      Introduction: Ecumenism and Independency in World Christianity    Emma Wild-Wood    1 Brian Stanley: Scholar of World Christian History    David Bebbington    Part 1: Studying World Christianity 2 1899–1900: Ecumenism and Independency in the Emerging World History of Christianity    Mark Noll    3 Independency in Ecumenical Christianity    David M.
