About this ebook

Christianity is a global religion! It's an obvious fact, but one often missed or ignored in too many books and conversations. In a world where Christianity is growing everywhere but the West, the Understanding World Christianity series offers a fresh, readable orientation to Christianity around the world. Understanding World Christianity is organized geographically, by nation and region. Noted experts, in most cases native to the area of focus, present a balanced history of Christianity and a detailed discussion of the faith as it is lived today. Each volume addresses six key intersections of Christianity in a given context including the historical, denominational, sociopolitical, geographical, biographical, and theological settings. Accessible in tone and brief in length, the volume on China in the Understanding World Christianity series is an ideal introduction for students, mission leaders, and any others who wish to know how Christianity is influenced, and is influenced by, the Chinese context.
