World Christian Database
The World Christian Database (WCD) is based on the award-winning World Christian Encyclopedia and World Christian Trends. This extensive work on world religion is now completely updated and integrated into the WCD online database - designed for both the casual user and research scholar. This database transforms current religious statistics into a real-time analysis tool.

UPDATED FOR 2010 - Status of Global Mission
For a snapshot on global Christianity, view the one-page annual statistical table Status of Global Mission. The table provides a statistical overview of the world’s 2.2 billion Christians and their activities.
World Christian Trends
A 952-page companion volume to the World Christian Encyclopedia, World Christian Trends includes a first-ever empirical survey of Christian martyrdom, historical trends, future projections and finance. Included in this volume are a variety of charts, tables, and lists.

World Christian Encyclopedia
One of the Center's foremost priorities is the continual development of the databases of the World Christian Encyclopedia. The heart of the WCE is a series of 238 chapters on the status of religion and of Christianity in every country in the world. Statistical tables show, in great detail, the religious breakdown of the population and the Christian denominations of every country.
