Theology in the Context of World Christianity was recommended to me by an Indian Christian. This article sounds like a chapter of the book where this very thing was discussed.
Unfortunately, Third-World Christianity is riddled with Charismania and the Prosperity Gospel. Worldwide orthodox Evangelicalism is getting dangerously thin. Everyone has been more or less relying on America even while they bad mouth us for Imperialistic evangelism. Our only real hope is a New Reformation spawned by the Holy Ghost. Otherwise, we're headed for a spiritual Dark Age.
The term "Christian" is nebulous and undefined in the article. My gut feeling is that the author is probably actually observing and describing moralistic therapeutic deism and mistakenly calling it "Christian".
