Christians in the City of Hong Kong: Chinese Christianity in Asia's World City: Christians in the City: Studies in Contemporary Global Christianity

Autor Tobias Brandner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 2023
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.

Recenzii

This comprehensive introduction to Christianity in Hong Kong covers the spectrum of Christian interaction with culture, society, and politics and elucidates the development of local theology. It benefits scholars and the general public interested in religion amid social and political changes that have caught worldwide attention in the cosmopolitan city. I highly recommend it.
This portrait of Hong Kong Christianity is a treasure-trove of information and analysis. Meticulously researched, it provides a lively and accessible 360 degree review of Christians' theological, social, and artistic contributions to Hong Kong society. From migrant worker congregations to postcolonial theology, Brandner captures different aspects of this vibrant international, service-oriented, conservative, and progressive church, while offering incisive commentary on the ramifications of the political situation and changing church-state relations.
Brandner employs both topical and chronological approaches to give us a concise narrative of Hong Kong's church-state and church-society encounters ... His logical clarity and empirical insights make this easily accessible book an excellent introduction to the complexity of religious-secular relationship in today's Hong Kong.
