How does Christianity continue to experience growth in an
increasingly authoritarian political system that enforces strict
regulations on religion? How are ordinary Christians affected by
social and political changes in the country, and how do they make
their influence felt in wider society? Taking Chinese Christians'
experience as a case study, Lim and Sng examine the possibilities
and limitations of Christian engagement in society under an
authoritarian regime. They look especially at efforts by religious
individuals and groups who are seeking to address social issues by
engaging in unobtrusive and non-antagonistic activities that
interact with controlling state institutions. Their emphasis is on
everyday lived religion, analysing how Christians express their
faith in their everyday activity and not only in spaces demarcated
as falling within the religious domain. This book is a valuable
reference for scholars and students looking to understand religion
in relation to politics, culture and everyday life in rapidly
modernising East Asian societies and particularly in China.
