| Summary: | This major new study examines the history of Chinese theologies as they have navigated dynastic change, anti-imperialism, and the heights of Maoist propaganda. In this groundbreaking and authoritative study, Chloë Starr explores key writings of Chinese Christian intellectuals, from philosophical dialogues of the late imperial era to sermons and micro blogs of theological educators and pastors in the twenty-first century. Through a series of close textual readings, she sheds new light on the fraught issues of Chinese Christian identity and the evolving question of how Christianity should relate to Chinese society. (Publisher) From missionary writings to Chinese Christian texts: an introduction -- The Christian imprint: the shaping of Republican-era theology -- Zhao Zichen and a creative theology: the Life of Jesus (1935) -- The public and personal faces of the church: Xu Zongze's Sui si sui bi and the Shengjiao zazhi (Revue Catholique) -- Wu Leichuan, Christianity and Chinese culture, and the kingdom of heaven -- The church and the People's Republic of China -- Ding Guangxun: maintaining the church -- State regulation, church growth, and textual profusion -- Yang Huilin: an academic search for meaning -- Visible and voluble: Protestant house-church writings in the twenty-first century |
