This volume investigates the complex, multifaceted relationship between Christian institutions and state governance across diverse Asian nations. Edited by Julius Bautista and Francis Khek Gee Lim, the collection brings together scholars to examine how religious identity, evangelism, and institutional faith interact with national political structures. The text argues that these interactions are rarely binary, manifesting instead as a spectrum of complicity, negotiation, and overt conflict depending on the specific cultural and historical context.
What You Will Find
Experts identify this collection as a significant contribution to the sociology of religion, particularly for its focus on the under-researched dynamics of Asian Christianity. Scholars frequently note the academic density of the prose and the breadth of the regional coverage provided by the contributors.
