This morning social media reported the death of Dr. Andrew Walls. As of this time, I have been unable to locate a press release or obituary. Such will arrive soon.
Dr. Walls was a historian and missiologist. He has been called the father of World Christian Studies, drawing much attention to the expansion of Christianity throughout the Majority World. For those of you unfamiliar with him and his work, I have posted a few links here.
Within the next 24-48 hours, people throughout the world will continue to post tributes and articles.
