The phenomenal expansion of Christianity in China in recent years has attracted much scholarly and public attention. As the country continues to deepen its linkages with the rest of the world, Chinese Christian networks are spreading both within and outside the country. These networks link and crisscross at multiple scales and localities in China while strengthening interactions with overseas Chinese Christians and global Christianity. Many Christian groups throughout the country are harnessing the tremendous potential of new media, such as the internet and mobile apps, to share religious messages, participate in rituals, access information, create online communities, and to evangelize. Chinese Christians have also begun exerting their influence outside China through activities such proselytism, charity work, and development projects. This volume presents cutting edge research by scholars working in the field of Christianity in China, providing valuable insights into how Chinese Christianity is evolving and how it is shaping the country and beyond.
Excerpt from Christian Progress in China: Gleanings From the Writings and Speeches of Many Workers The purpose and character of this book may be easily explained. I have been several times asked by persons interested in Missions, whether I could recommend any book containing plenty of narrative, relating to Missionary Work and Native Christian Life in China. This request suggested to me the idea of compiling from recent volumes of Missionary Reports and Magazines a number of gleanings which would answer the purpose. The following pages contain very little original matter. I have been obliged to add, here and there, a few lines by way of connecting paragraphs together, or for the purpose of explaining particular customs or incidents; but it has been my desire, as far as possible, to let the persons from whom I quote speak for themselves. In making quotations, however, I have not hesitated to deal somewhat freely with my authorities; e.g., omitting sentences occasionally, without calling special attention to the fact that I have done so, or correcting some grammatical and other errors which had crept into papers that must have been hastily written, or into speeches which appear to have been incorrectly reported.

This book details the great unreported story of the Chinese giant, its enormously rapid conversion to Christianity, and what this change means to the global balance of power.
This text addresses the history and future of homegrown, mass Chinese Christianity. Drawing on a collection of sources, the author traces the transformation of Protestant Christianity in the 20th-century China from a small 'missionary' church buffeted by antiforeignism to an indigenous opular religion energized by nationalism.
