Dual Moral Authority”
The relationship between rural Christianity and the Chinese ethical conception of interpersonal relationships has long been a central concern in scholarly research. Existing studies often frame the two as antagonistic or argue that the Christian configuration of interpersonal relationships is a mere continuation of the traditional differential mode of association (chaxu geju). However, these perspectives often neglect local Christians’ own ethno-…
Care Matters
This paper responds to Annemarie Mol's invitation in The Logic of Care, drawing upon and expanding Fisher and Tronto's concept of care. Through practices surrounding rice landraces in a village in Yunnan Province, China, it elaborates on three dimensions of care. The article argues that care acknowledges heterogeneous temporal regimes, treats non-human actors as community members, and as dynamic relational process characterized by openness and co…
Can target-based environmental regulations effectively improve city air quality? Evidence from China’s total emissions control policy
This paper uses city-planned air pollution reductions under China’s Total Emissions Control (TEC) Policy between the 10th and the 12th Five-Year Plan (FYP) periods (2001−2015) to estimate the atmospheric effects of target-based environmental regulations. We hypothesize with a multi-task agency model that targeted-based regulation can reduce emissions of targeted air pollution but does not necessarily improve city air quality. Our difference-in-di…

Is There Life? Is There Spirit? Debating Belief and Being a Good Christian in Watchman Nee's 'Little Flock
Christian, especially Protestant, identity is often framed through the lens of belief, particularly belief understood as an interior orientation. Through an examination of the non-denominational Protestant group, the 'Little Flock', founded by Watchman Nee in the early 20th century, we trace enduring aspects of Little Flock theology in contemporary Chinese Protestant practice. In particular, we attend to conceptions of and debates surrounding bel…
The "Theological" Creation and "Sociological" Foundations of "The Jesus Family" in Modern Shandong
With regards to the Sinicization of Christianity (基督教中國化), there has always been a tension between "Chinese Christians" (中國(人)基督徒) and "Christian Chinese" (基督徒中國人). This paper intends to respond to this tension through the analysis of The Jesus Family (耶穌家庭), an important representative of the indigenous church movement in modern China. The Jesus Family had its own unique theological propositions and ecclesial practices. Particularly noteworthy w…
Materiality, Experience and the Body
This paper foregrounds the Turnerian experiences of pilgrims themselves, for whom pilgrimage is perhaps first and foremost the process of experiencing faith with their whole body and mind. At the Chinese Catholic pilgrimage site of Sheshan, located in western Shanghai, multiple meanings and possibilities are written onto the body of the pilgrim as it interacts with sacred materialities. In the process, the pilgrim materially orients themselves to…
Trends and Reflections
Christianity in China has achieved a rapid growth in population since the 1980s. This article mainly reviews empirical studies on Christianity from 2000 to the present. Drawing on statistics from the China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database ( cajd ), this article begins with an analysis of the trends in both quantity and research interests of large-scale empirical studies. Categories of churches are defined and applied to the analysis o…
Online and Offline Religion in China
Studies of digital religion frequently take democratic regime settings and developed economic contexts for granted, leaving regime and economic development levels as background factors (Campbell 2013). However, in China, the role of the authoritarian state, restrictions on religion, and rapid social change mean that online and offline religious practices will develop in distinct ways. This article analyzes the 2019 Bible handcopying movement prom…
Being Christians in Urbanizing China
With the rapid urbanization of China in the last 20 years, hundreds of millions of rural residents surged into the cities searching for better livelihoods. Hundreds of thousands of these urban migrants have been Christians. The Christian migrants not only found themselves confronted by the same overwhelming city life and culture as other new rural-urban migrants, they also found a new church setting marked by unfamiliar expressions of their famil…

Becoming Christians
Prayers in Christianity are often considered to be a theological or pastoral topic; while social scientific studies generally tend to reduce them, like prayers in other religious contexts, to the status of psychological responses bringing comfort to the practitioner, or a collective construction connected with social and cultural institutions. However, what prayer actually is, and what it means to Christians who practise it remains an open issue …
