Uneasy Encounters

Christian Churches in Greater China

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the interactions of Christian groups within authoritarian regimes in Greater China, the book delves into the complex negotiations these representatives undertake in a context where Christianity is viewed as a colonial import. It specifically analyzes the Catholic Church's operations in mainland China since 1945 and the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan during martial law (1949-1987). By moving beyond the simple domination-resistance framework, it highlights diverse strategies religious groups employ while navigating pressures from both the state and local culture, supported by case studies that inform a broader economic theory of religion.
