Abstract
World Christianity today is quite different from what it was a century ago. Roman Catholics, Evangelicals, and Pentecostals in Africa, Asia, and Latin America will shape the twenty-first-century theological agenda. A new agenda needs to be scripturally based, open to vibrant, Spirit-led experience, engaged with non-Christian religions, and ecumenically fruitful. Surprising as it may sound, the writings of eighteenth-century thinker Jonathan Edwards offer an excellent point of departure. He functions as a bridge figure in four ways—between Catholics and Protestants, the Christian East and West, Charismatics and non-Charismatics, and liberals and conservatives.
