Uncovering the Pearl

“Uncovering the Pearl brings home a unique excavation of Asian Christianity as the center of Christian gravity makes an inexorable shift to the Global South. Through history, context, and community, the authors tell us the incredibly vivacious, diverse, and complex story. I highly recommend this resource for anyone contemplating church, missions, and theological education and wish to see it inciting newer stories from this infinite region to inform and inspire the rest of the world.”


—Jessy Jaison, regional director for South Asia, United World Mission and Overseas Council





“This watershed resource volume fills the gaping information gap on Asian Christianity with the content of both the historical wealth and future possibilities of these various and vibrant forms of the faith. With better knowledge of global interactions and exchanges, we can reconsider our understanding of Christianity through an Asian lens and more faithfully attend to what it has meant to be a Jesus follower engaging our world through the ages to today.”
