Christians in the City of Hong Kong tells the story of a
multi-faceted, constantly evolving Christianity in a vibrant
metropolis that has always been China’s gateway to the wider
world. Having served in Hong Kong for over 25 years in contexts
from prison ministry to theological education, Tobias Brandner
offers an interplay of local and global perspectives assessing the
growth, variation, and present course of Hong Kong’s diverse
Christian communities. These range from spiritually progressive
Christians to conservative evangelicals and Pentecostals;
Christians at the grassroots and at the higher echelons of wealth
and power; social and educational ministries of Christians and
their impact on society; and, finally, the important role of Hong
Kong Christians in their outreach to mainland China. Tracing how
Christianity has extended into all parts of society, including
arts, politics, and academia, Brandner presents key theological
insights into the dynamics of a community at the cultural
intersection of China and the West.
