Painting the Map Blue
The mining magnate Cecil Rhodes is said to have carried around a map of Africa with him. Each colony was shaded a different color, according to which European country had colonized it. Britain's colonies were shaded red, and Rhodes driving ambition was "to paint the map red."
In this "History of Religion" Map below, Christianity is represented by the color blue. Notice that there were two major rapid expansions of the church. One was during the time of the apostles. And another at the dawn of the missions era. Notice also where most of the green, red, and orange are.
