Global Christianity: A Report on the Size and Distribution of the World's Christian Population, the Pew Research Center's own 2011 demographic report, estimates the size and global distribution of the Christian population. Its strength is that Pew is a well regarded survey and demographic research organization with a documented methodology. Its limit is that it is the research organization's own report rather than independent peer reviewed scholarship, and its 2011 figures have since aged; a reader wanting current numbers should check Pew's later updates.
