China, Christianity, and the Question of Culture
Product Description
▼▲Christian missionaries in China have long been viewed as agents of Western imperialist values. Yang Huilin, a leading scholar of Sino-Christian studies, has dedicated himself to re-evaluating the history of Christianity in China and sifting through intellectual and religious results of missionary efforts there. In a distinctly Chinese voice, Yang presents the legacy of Western missionaries in a new light, contributing greatly to a now vigorous Sino-Christian theology.

Editorial Reviews
▼▲Yangs essays cover a remarkable range of thinking and one can only hope that, at a time when much of the scramble to establish links between Chinese and Western universities is unseemly, hasty and unattractive, this serious and intellectual voice is clearly heard and engaged with in both universities and beyond.
-- Literature and TheologyAn excellent collection of essays whose ideas should be the starting point for conversations in many disciplines.
-- Fides Et HistoriaThe volume serves as a fascinating snapshot of the vibrant academic discourse on Christianity in China today and provides provocative insights for researchers in missions and world Christianity.
-- International Bulletin of Mission ResearchThis is a significant book for Chinese academia that boldly interprets the Christian phenomena in a new way. It reverses the traditional bias against Christianity, and may in fact inaugurate a more open discussion about religion in general among Chinese in the future. Such profound insights touch upon the very nature of the Christian faith, and bear significance for all Christians, as well as nonbelievers, to rethink their relationship with Christianity. Altogether the book provides a valuable window for understanding Chinese Christianity.
