'This volume helpfully outlines some ways in which imperial readings of the Bible and Christian history have led to the inexcusable importation of Western divisions into Chinese church life.' Lawrence Braschi, Church Times, 30 November 2012 '[David Pao's work] opens a way to overcome missionary paralysis for fear of propagating or capitulating to neo-colonialism.' Beau Pihlaja, Theological Book Review, Volume 24, No 2, 2012 "After Imperialism is good in pointing out the pietistic and dispensational views of many of the unregistered churches and the false Western expectation that the growing church in China has political democracy as part of its vision." Ray Porter, Evangelicals Now, August 2013

Is the Church merely a Western institution? Where does Christianity fit in with Chinese identity? Does Chinese Evangelism detract from Chinese culture? This collection of essays addresses Christian Evangelism within a historical context to China's diverse character, and explores prejudices and reactions to the evangelical movement throughout China. The contributors of this volume are committed to the belief that evangelicalism continues to have the historical assets and intellectual, hermeneutical and theological, tools able to contribute to the global church.
