Christian Values in Communist China (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that as new political and social values are formed in post-socialist China, Christian values are becoming increasingly embedded in the Chinese outlook. It shows how although Christianity is viewed in China as a foreign religion, Christianity as a source of social and political values - rather than a faith requiring adherence to a church is in fact having a huge impact. The book shows how these values inform both official and dissident ideology, therby challenging commonly held views on contemporary Chinese Christianity as a movement in opposition to the state and showing the diversity and complexity of Christian thinking.
