Dr. Reyes is also the co-editor of the Journal of World Christianity (http://www.psupress.org/Journals/jnls_JOWC.html) which is concerned with comparative studies of both local forms of Christianity in the areas in which it has historically existed or presently exists, and with the place of Christianity in inter-religious dialogue.
