Synopsis

Considering Christianity's growing prominence, and the various ways Asian nation states respond to this growth, this book examines how Christians in Asia express their religion under the spectre of the nation state and processes of globalization, bringing into sharper analytical focus the ways in which the faith is articulated at the local, regional, and global level.
