Following Christ and Confucius
Wang Mingdao and Chinese Christianity
Christopher Payk
Ă propos de ce livre
The first full-length critical biography and theological analysis of Wang Mingdao, the spiritual father of China's House Church Movement.
One of the most influential figures in Chinese Christianity, church leader and evangelist Wang Mingdao rejected state control of religion in favor of the religious freedom of the unregistered House Churchesâa choice that made him a frequent target of government persecution.
In this thorough new biography, scholar Christopher Payk traces Wang's life and Christian development through the sociopolitical tumult of twentieth-century China. Drawing on unpublished sermons, journals, and additional sources in English and Chinese, Payk argues persuasively that Wang's theologyâwhile largely based on Christian scriptureâwas shaped by Confucian tradition, reason, and personal experience. Following Christ and Confucius brings new clarity to Wang's uncompromising faith and lasting impact.
