| Summary: | Much research on Chinese Christianity has emphasized a deeply rooted antagonistic relationship between the church and the secular state. There has been a scant but growing literature exploring how Chinese Christian groups have worked within the existing social and political system while maintaining their commitment to faith. Drawing on historical archival research and personal interviews, Denise A. Austin's “Kingdom-Minded” People makes a valuable addition to this literature by highlighting the active role of Christian merchants in contributing to China's economic and social modernization in the first half of the twentieth century., The book is divided into two parts. |
