This book examines the theological worldview of the Taiping
Rebellion (1850-64), a Chinese revolutionary movement whose leader,
Hong Xiuquan (1814-64), claimed to be the second son of God and
younger brother of Jesus. Despite the profound impact of Christian
books on Hong's religious thinking, previous scholarship has
neglected the localized form of Christianity that he and his
closest followers created. Filling that gap in the existing
literature, this book analyzes the localization of Christianity in
the theology, ethics, and ritual practices of the Taipings. Carl S.
Kilcourse not only reveals how Confucianism and popular religion
acted as instruments of localization, but also suggests that
several key aspects of the Taipings' localized religion were
inspired by terms and themes from translated Christian texts.
Emphasizing this link between vernacularization and localization,
Kilcourse demonstrates both the religious identity of the Taipings
and their wider significance in the history of world Christianity.
