The Search for the Identity of the Chinese Christian Church

The Church in China will hugely impact the Christian th ministry and mission of the global Church in the 21st century. We therefore need to understand the historic roots of their view of the world, the Scriptures and their interpretation of the Great Commission if we are to effectively work together to evangelize every part and people group in the world. This book will help towards such an understanding and fruitful co-operation for the Kingdom of God today. Patrick Johnstone Author Emeritus, Operation World Through an ecclesiological perspective, this book will give readers a new lens with which to better understand the drastic changes to the Chinese church during the period 1949-1958. Through the author's observations and research, readers will gain new insights into the current situation, so as to bring clarity and revelation for the future development of the Chinese church. Rev. Raymond Lo Ping Chiu Executive Director. Far East Broadcasting HK This book convincingly interprets the Chinese Christian experience of the 1950s from an ecclesiological position. Such an approach bears profound theological significance to understanding the current and continuing clashes between different factions within the Chinese Christian community.
