| Summary: | A Protestant Church in Communist China is a very worthwhile study, one that has modest goals but executes its strategy very effectively. John Keating, impatient with reading generalized descriptions of the church in China since the Communist period began in 1949, set out to document the life and experience of Moore Memorial Church in Shanghai, the flagship Methodist church before 1949 and, he argues, the most prominent Protestant church in all of China today. The latter claim cannot really be proven, but he makes a good case for it. Thus Moore Memorial becomes the first institutional case study of a long slice of the history of Protestantism in the past half-century. |
