After Imperialism: Christian Identity in China and the Global Evangelical Movement

Description In May 2008 over a dozen evangelical scholars (Chinese and Western) from the United States, Hong Kong and Taiwan came together to address issues of Christian and evangelical identity. This inter-cultural theological conversation was entitled “Beyond Our Past: Bible, Cultural Identity, and the Global Evangelical Movement”. This collection of papers from the conference demonstrates that evangelicalism possesses the historical assets and hermeneutical and theological tools to contribute to the global church and to address the significant theological and cultural issues arising out of a post-colonial context. Questions of evangelical identity in China and around the world are addressed from the disciplines of history, biblical studies, and systematic theology/contextualization.
