Given the theological significance of the state of Israel for many evangelicals worldwide, the existence of a population of Palestinian evangelicals may seem counterintuitive. Palestinian Evangelicals and Global Evangelicalism offers an ethnographic analysis of the encounter between Palestinian and Western evangelicals, exploring the impact of Christian Zionism on Palestinian Christians.
The East African Revival is a fascinating historical example of the significant role indigenous agency can play in creating a new Christian spirituality. African revivalists initiated the spread of the movement, employing creative practices such as public testimony and fellowship meetings to sustain the effects of conversion experiences. Daewon Moon integrates theological and sociological analyses of conversion with interviews and personal narratives that express insiders’ perspectives. As active agents in the multiethnic and multicultural movement, African revivalists articulate through their words and changed lives what it means to be 'saved'.

This comprehensive Handbook provides chapter length surveys of the history of Christian missions and Christian churches on the African continent since the time of Christ. Africa is rapidly becoming the most Christianized region of the world. While common narratives about Christianity tend to present Christianity as a set of ideas and beliefs imposed on Africa from the outside, such narratives hold little meaning for African Christians or for those seeking to understand Christianity in Africa as an indigenous faith. The aim of the Handbook is to propose a set of scholarly starting points for a new set of narratives. The chapters collected here communicate an idea of Christianity as it has been embraced among African peoples at particular historical moments. It therefore grants voice to the various strands of African Christianity on their own terms, and offers scholarly study of what these voices teach us about how the world’s most adhered to religion is practiced and understood on the continent of Africa.
The earliest known Van Wagenen ancestor was Aert Jackobsen (ca. 1664) who married Annettje Gerrits. They were the parents of four children, one of whom was Jacob Aertsen (1653-1716). He was known as Van Wagenen because his father was from Wageningen. He married Sara Evertse Pels in 1677 and they were the parents of twelve children. Descendants live throughout the United States.
