“We Had A Symbiotic Relationship”
Utah in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was an international, multiethnic space. Latter-day Saint converts from Scandinavia, the British Isles, Germany, and other places in Europe streamed in via the transcontinental railroad to practice their religion together. Railroad and mine workers came via those same transportation networks from southern Europe, eastern Europe, and Asia.1 Chinese had been a presence in the American West s…
Busting the Silos of “Global” Scholarship
“this is the global mormonism volume we've been waiting for,” my colleague David Howlett recently said of the Palgrave Handbook of Global Mormonism.I have to say I agree. At 868 pages, this volume is more comprehensive than any that have come before, with thirty-one chapters written by forty-two authors on three restoration traditions, discussing over forty countries and even more ethnic and cultural groupings. The editors have brought together n…
Saving the Nation
Thomas Reilly’s book argues that Chinese Protestant elites in institutions such as the National Christian Council, YMCA and YWCA had a disproportionate influence within the class of intellectuals and reformers trying to renew China as a nation. He suggests that Chinese Protestants, though making up only a quarter of 1 per cent of the Chinese population, made significant contributions to Chinese civil society through their institutional efforts in…
China and the True Jesus
This book examines the dynamic between charisma and organization in the history of the True Jesus Church, China’s first major native church, in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The True Jesus Church is one of the earliest Chinese expressions of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity, now the dominant mode of twenty-first-century Chinese Christianity. The book argues that the charismatic mode of Christianity is not merely a reflection o…
Cultural Technologies
This article uses the case of the London Missionary Society (LMS) in China to argue that disruptive cultural technologies-namely organizational forms and tools-were just as significant within Christian mission encounters as religious doctrines or material technologies. LMS missionaries did not convert as many Chinese to Christianity as they hoped, but their auxiliary efforts were more successful. The LMS mission project facilitated the transfer o…
Speaking in the Devil’s Tongue? The True Jesus Church’s Uneasy Rhetorical Accommodation to Maoism, 1948–1958
During the 1950s, the universal ideology of Chinese Christian churches clashed with the universal ideology of the Maoist party-state. Since Christian churches were autonomous moral communities (ideologically self-contained, with members collectively claiming authority to define and cultivate moral norms), they hindered the party-state’s ambitions for control. Christians, especially Christian leaders, experienced intense pressure to adopt the new …
