Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This study investigates the historical and political conditions which have contributed to the current state of the Protestant community in China, and the kinds of spirituality and religious life that it has evolved. The authors draw on extensive fieldwork, and offer fascinating insights into the beliefs and practices of a little-documented section of Chinese society. They show that healing, protection, and vengeance by gods have been deep-rooted elements of Chinese religiosity for several hundred years, notions appropriated by Christians who now emphasise the powers of Jesus. Chinese Protestantism is seen to result from an interesting blend of the old and the new, and comparative material is adduced which sets Protestantism side by side with Catholicism and Buddhism, the two religions in China of comparable scope. A wide range of sources are utilised by the authors, and these lead to one of the most complete and detailed surveys of Christianity in China ever produced.

The peculiar character of Chinese Protestantism is seen to result from an interesting blend of old and new religious elements, and the resulting survey constitutes one of the most complete pictures of Christianity in China.
