English summary: In the 21st century the interconnectedness of world religions within the context of global dynamics has become self evident. The same also applies to Christianity. However, given still prevailing regional and national historical narratives, little is known of its historical development towards a global and pluralistically differentiated religion. This volume takes up this theme and provides the first comprehensive, interdenominational and interdisciplinary history of global Christianity in the German speaking countries from the 15th to the 19th century. Selected theologians and (church) historians reveal the key factors during the early modern period, which encouraged the global expansion and fascinating diversity of modern Christianity. German description: Die Verflochtenheit der Weltreligionen in globale Dynamiken ist im 21. Jahrhundert zu einem selbstverstandlichen Faktum geworden. Das gilt auch fur das Christentum. Angesichts der nach wie vor vorherrschenden regionalen oder nationalen Geschichtsschreibung ist allerdings nur wenig uber dessen historischen Entwicklungsprozess hin zu einer weltweit agierenden und plural differenzierten Religion bekannt. Der vorliegende Band greift dies auf, indem er erstmals im dt. Sprachraum eine umfassende, interkonfessionelle und interdisziplinare Geschichte des Globalen Christentums vom 15. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert prasentiert. Ausgewiesene Theologen und (Kirchen-)Historiker machen so die Weichenstellungen der Fruhen Neuzeit deutlich, die die globale Ausbreitung und die faszinierende Vielfalt des modernen Christentums forderten.
