Ross has spoken about the change of focus in global christianity. Europe and North America were over 80% Christian in 1900 and by 2025 the figure was just over 30%. However the growth in the global south meant that less than 20% of all Christians will live in the Global north. He argues that there is a growing imperative for ecumenical movements. However the trend is further fractionalisation and Islam is projected to grow faster that Christianity in the future.{{Cite web |title=Prof. Ross Lectures on Current Trends in World Christianity - China Christian Daily |url=https://chinachristiandaily.com/news/china/2026-03-30/prof-ross-lectures-on-current-trends-in-world-christianity-15983 |access-date=2026-04-11 |website=chinachristiandaily.com}} In 2025 he was one of the editors of the "Compact Atlas of Global Christianity".{{Cite web |date=2025-04-30 |title=Compact Atlas of Global Christianity (Edinburgh Companions to Global Christianity) {{!}} Parnassus Books |url=https://parnassusbooks.net/book/9781399550079 |access-date=2026-04-24 |website=parnassusbooks.net |language=en}} |
