Christians In The City Of Shanghai Av Susangeline Y. (Nazarene Theological Seminary Usa) Patrick

This book examines the stories of Christians in Shanghai as a model to highlight how a minority religion in a city has interacted with other religions as well as social, political, and economic changes.It shows how the history of Chinese churches sheds light on why and how Christians have accommodated social and political changes and gives valuable insights into multiculturalism, globalization, Sinicization, and ecclesiology. The interreligious dialogues between Shanghai Christians and other religions and philosophies such as Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, and Judaism throughout history also provide valuable reflections on the roles of Christians in a multi-religious space.
