China to home the largest Christian population in the world in 20 years

During a recent presentation of a book on Rome, a prominent theologian said China will be home to the majority of Christians in the world within the next two decades.

"Interreligious dialogue is something that China, which have the largest Christian population in the world in 20 years lives every day," said Harvey Cox during the presentation at the Gregorian University in Rome, in his book "A Catholic with Religions World. "

Cox asks in his book where Christians have been in the past, where we are now, and where we will be in the future. "There are two phenomena in the world today," he added. "First is no longer recognize Christianity as a Western religion and the second is that the countries with the largest number of Christians do not have a culture or Christian traditions. "

The book launch was part of a session of two days of talks at the Gregorian University to mark the 80th anniversary of the Faculty of Missiology.
