After Imperialism : Christian Identity in China and the Global Evangelical Movement

A collection of essays exploring issues of identity and the global church in the post-colonial era, from the perspectives of Chinese and American evangelicals. Is the Church merely a Western institution? Where does Christianity fit in with Chinese identity? Does Chinese Evangelism detract from Chinese culture? This collection of essays addresses Christian Evangelism within a historical context to China's diverse character, and explores prejudices and reactions to the evangelical movement throughout China. The contributors of this volume are committed to the belief that evangelicalism continues to have the historical assets and intellectual, hermeneutical and theological, tools able to contribute to the global church.
