Shall the fundamentalists win? Philip Jenkins on the future of Christendom

By Alexander Carpenter
Two years ago, the Association of Adventist Forums hosted professor Philip Jenkins at our annual conference. A polymath with an entertaining style, the conversations with Jenkins made for a great weekend. His travels around the 2/3rds world have given him an number of insights, not only about the emerging meaning of Christianity, but what it means to read scripture as a global community today. In fact, in the video below he shares an anecdote about an Adventist minister in Africa. It is well worth your time. . .
