Summary

The last quarter of the 20th century has been one of the brightest and most exciting periods for Christianity in China. Yet it is almost an unknown story. There is much misinformation and dis-information on the churches and the believers. This book was begun in China, finished in Hong Kong and now completely revised and up-dated on the actual situation of Christians and their churches entering the 21st century.
