China's Reforming Churches

Mission, Polity, and Ministry in the Next Christendom.
China is now home to more evangelical believers than any other nation, and the
church continues to grow and make inroads in every level of Chinese society.
Such dramatic growth, against the backdrop of modern China, has produced
profound and urgent church development needs. As faithful Chinese ministers
strive to meet these needs, an increasing number are discovering the rich
biblical and theological resources of the Reformed tradition and presbyterian
polity.
This is a critical moment in the life of ChinaÆs reforming churches and the
Presbyterian and Reformed mission to China. This book provides both a
historical look at presbyterianism in China and an assessment of the current
state of affairs, orienting readers to church development needs and the basic
outlines of Reformed Christianity in China today. While laying out the
challenges and opportunities facing the church, the authors argue that
assisting this reformation in China should be a central objective of the
presbyterian and Reformed mission to China in this generation.
Rarely do you encounter a book on ChinaÆs Christians by scholars who are " so distinguished and expert on the topic. Brimming with profound and carefully
researched insight into the subject, ChinaÆs Reforming Churches is the finest
work on Christianity in China that I have seen in years. It is also elegantly
written and edited. It deserves the widest readership. ù David Aikman, " author of Jesus in Beijing
