Theme Volume:
Christianity in China as an Issue in the History of U.S.-China Relations
Edited by Dong Wang
Paul Sorrell and Tom Wells, Managing Editors
By bringing lesser-known aspects of Christianity to bear on the story, the articles in this special volume underscore the significance of repositioning and expanding the study of Christianity and U.S.-China relations from both global and local perspectives. The contributing scholars – from the humanities and social sciences in North America, Asia, and Oceania – address important issues such as how the importation of American evangelicalism became part of the Chinese scene, the role Christianity played in American and Chinese literary and political discourse, and the changing character of Christianity in China, the United States, and Australia that resulted from the Christian presence and experience in these countries.
