RT Article T1 Official Protestantism in China JF Review of Religion and Chinese Society VO 6 IS 1 SP 71 OP 98 A1 Koesel, Karrie J. 1974- A2 Hu, Yizhi A2 Pine, Joshua LA English YR 2019 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1685385737 AB What do we know about Protestant Christianity in contemporary China? How is it organized; where, why, and how is it growing; and how do we understand its evolving relationship with the party-state? The purpose of this article is to evaluate the state of official Protestantism in China and take stock of what we have learned. We do so in three ways. One is to identify the origins of state-sanctioned Protestantism; another is to evaluate conflicting claims about church size, growth, and demographics; and the third is to suggest directions for future study.
