Carlos F. Cardoza Orlandi is an interdisciplinary scholar and historian in the fields of world Christianity and mission studies. My interests intersect in a matrix that includes (1) the historical and current interpretations of the movement of the Christian religion (transmission, reception, appropriation and re-transmission of the Christian religion), particularly in the global south (Africa, Asia & Latin America) both at institutional and popular levels; (2) the socio-cultural interplay between Christians and people of other faiths, particularly those who practice Afro-Caribbean, Amerindian, Spiritist religions, and Islam; and (3) the theoretical and theological/missiological constructions of the current interplay between cultures and religions in Africa, Asia and Latin America, including immigrants and transnational movements.
