Throughout China's rapidly growing cities, a new wave of
unregistered house churches is growing. They are developing rich
theological perspectives that are both uniquely Chinese and rooted
in the historical doctrines of the faith. To understand how they
have endured despite government pressure and cultural
marginalization, we must understand both their history and their
theology. In this volume, key writings from the house church have
been compiled, translated, and made accessible to English speakers.
Featured here is a manifesto by well-known pastor Wang Yi and his
church, Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, to clarify their
theological stance on the house church and its relationship to the
Chinese government. There are also works by prominent voices such
as Jin Tianming, Jin Mingri, and Sun Yi. The editors have provided
introductions, notes, and a glossary to give context to each
selection. These writings are an important body of theology
historically and spiritually. Though defined by a specific set of
circumstances, they have universal applications in a world where
the relationship between church and state is more complicated than
ever. This unique resource will be valuable to practical and
political theologians as well as readers interested in
international relations, political philosophy, history, and
intercultural studies.
