A Star in the East: The Rise of Christianity in China

by Rodney Stark and Xiuhua Wang

Book Overview

What is the state of Christianity in China? Some scholars say that China is invulnerable to religion. In contrast, others say that past efforts of missionaries have failed, writing off those converted as nothing more than "rice Christians" or cynical souls who had frequented the missions for the benefits they provided. Some wonder if the Cultural Revolution extinguished any chances of Christianity in China.
