Publisher Synopsis
"A rare and prized contribution, this book offers penetrating analysis of the literary forms and theological contents of major Chinese texts. Chloe Starr is to be commended for her masterful work."-John Yueh-Han Yieh, Virginia Theological Seminary"This brilliant book by Chloe Starr will become a foundational study of both the historical foundations of Christianity in contemporary China and, even more significantly, the Chinese textual histories and patterns upon which those foundations rest."-David Jasper, author of Literature and Theology as a Grammar of Assent"This timely book heralds the maturation of a distinctively Chinese theology. It is illuminated by the author's reading of the Chinese texts in their original literary forms and situated in their social and cultural contexts."- Fenggang Yang, Purdue University"This is the most inspiring book on Chinese theology that I have read. In a captivating literary style, Chloe Starr guides the reader through the history of Chinese theological texts, examining their ties to Chinese literary forms."- Nicolas Standaert, University of Leuven"Chloe Starr expertly tracks the diverse theological spectrum of China, ranging through twentieth-century texts and beyond to illustrate how Chinese intellectuals and theologians struggled to make scripture relevant to their particular context."-Fuk-tsang Ying, Chinese University of Hong Kong Read more...
