Christian Social Activism and Rule of Law in Chinese Societies, Hardback Book

Christian Social Activism and Rule of Law in Chinese Societies Hardback

Edited by Chris White, Fenggang Yang

Part of the Studies in Christianity in China series

Hardback

Description

Although Christianity has been a minority religion in Chinese societies, Christians have played catalytic roles in social activism for democracy and establishing rule of law in Chinese societies.

The historical analysis, theological reflections, and sociological observations found in the chapters of Christian Social Activism and the Rule of Law in Chinese Societies reveal the vibrant influence of Christian individuals and groups on social, political, and legal activism in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and diasporic communities.

Situating the activism narrative in a larger context, this volume examines the dynamics of Christianity-inspired activism and its contributions to democratization and rule of law in Greater China in a fresh light.
