Sacred Webs: The Social Lives and Networks of Minnan Protestants, 1840s-1920s: Religion in Chinese Societies, cartea 13

Autor Chris White
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 mar 2017
In Sacred Webs, historian Chris White demonstrates how Chinese Protestants in Minnan, or the southern half of Fujian Province, fractured social ties and constructed and utilized new networks through churches, which served as nodes linking individuals into larger Protestant communities. Through analyzing missionary archives, local church reports, and available Chinese records, Sacred Webs depicts Christianity as a Chinese religion and Minnan Protestants as laying claim to both a Christian faith and a Chinese cultural heritage.

Recenzii

"The individual chapters and the framework of social networks offer much of benefit to the field, and White is to be commended on an excellent thesis volume." - Chloe Starr, Yale Divinity School, in: Monumenta Serica: Journal of Oriental Studies 66:1
"Chris White uses an impressive array of missionary sources, Chinese periodicals, court cases, artifacts, photos, and the like, to demonstrate that to become a Christian in Minnan 閩南 was to create a new social identity. [...] Sacred Webs is a strong micro-history of Protestant Christianity in Minnan. It is well-researched and introduces English speakers to a substantial body of secondary literature that is being produced in Chinese. Most importantly, though, the book is richly illustrative of how Christianity fragmented, fostered, and fueled Chinese social networks." - Daryl R. Ireland, Boston University, in: Journal of Chinese Religions 46:1

“As a whole, this volume proves to be a truly excellent addition to the growing dialog of Christianity in China. Viewing Protestantism through a Chinese lens is a wonderfully refreshing angle and White should be commended.”
-Joseph Chadwin, University of Vienna, in Religious Studies Review, VOLUME 46, NUMBER 1, MARCH 2020
