An international cast of (Church) historians and Religious Studies scholars relate the developments in this century, from the World Wars into postmodern times. The century is discussed along chronological and geographical lines, as the other volumes, but also focuses on more thematical issues such as Ecumenism, Antisemitism and Human Rights.  Contributors are: Andrew Chandler, Melanie Duguid-May, Siegfried Hermle, Katharina Kunter, Frieder Ludwig, Gerard Mannion, Harry Oelke, Jens Holger Schjørring, Ulrike Schröder, Kevin Ward.  This is part of a three volume work on the history of global Christianity. The first two volumes cover the periods from 1500-1789 and the 19th century (published 2017).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Focusing more on movements, institutions, and geographical regions than on individual personalities, this resource will help nonspecialists and specialists alike map out topics for further research in the last 500 years of global church movements.\" - M.S. Hill, Liberty University in *Choice*, November 2018.    \"The volumes take a fresh approach in presenting historical research from a global angle, so as to not be constrained by the typical European ethnocentric tunnel vision. Too often Church history was written and prescribed from a Eurocentric perspective, which is as much apparent in its terminology (e.g. Middle East, Near East) as in its proportional selection (more attention for the Atlantic axis). In this regard the series is a ‘Fundgrube’ of data, narratives, and historical reflections not hindered by cultural biases given with the false assumption that modernity and civilisation only started with the wake of Europe.\" - Henk Bakker, Free University Amsterdam, JEBS 21:1 (2021), pp. 201-203.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Foreword Volume iii  List of Contributors  Introduction, 20th Century, Volume iii   Jens Holger Schjørring    Part 1 \u2028Decades    1 Christianity in the First World War   Jens Holger Schjørring    2 Christianity in Europe and North America between the World Wars, 1918–c. 1939   Andrew Chandler    3 Second World War   Harry Oelke    4 Christianity in Europe and North America in the Age of the Cold War   Andrew Chandler    Part 2 \u2028Themes    5 Christianity, Human Rights, and Socio-Ethical Reorientations   Katharina Kunter    6 The Ecumenical Movement   Melanie Duguid-May    7 Vatican II: How the First Global Council Transformed Catholicism   Gerard Mannion    8 Anti-Semitism, Holocaust, and Reorientation   Siegfried Hermle    9 Christianity in the Context of Other World Religions: Interreligious Dynamics and Developments in the 20th Century   Frieder Ludwig and Ulrike Schröder    Part 3 \u2028Continents    10 The Christian Century?
