Although Christianity has been a minority religion in Chinese
societies, Christians have been powerful catalysts of social
activism in seeking to establish democracy and rule of law in
mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and diasporic communities. The
chapters gathered in this collection reveal the vital influence of
Christian individuals and groups on social, political, and legal
activism in Chinese societies. Written from a range of disciplinary
and geographical perspectives, the chapters develop a coherent
narrative of Christian activism that illuminates its specific
historical, theological, and cultural contexts. Analyzing campaigns
for human rights, universal suffrage, and other political reforms,
this volume uncovers the complex dynamics of Christian activism,
highlighting its significant contributions to the democratization
of Greater China.

larger context, this volume examines the dynamics of
Christianity-inspired activism and its contributions to
democratization and rule of law in Greater China in a fresh light.
