The Oxford Handbook of Seventh-day Adventism
Seventh-day Adventism is the largest religious group to have emerged out of the Millerite revivals of the 1840s. These revivals culminated in the expectation that Jesus would literally return to earth in 1844. After the hoped-for event did not materialize, Adventists searched for biblical explanations. They wove beliefs in the heavenly sanctuary, the seventh-day Sabbath, and Christian mortalism into a cohesive theology. Along with their premillen…
Airing the Gospel
This article explores the influential role that international Christian broadcasting enterprises played in the conversion of the Chinese during the transition from the Maoist to the Reform era. Despite being an official tool of propaganda and information dissemination, the popularization of radio offered an opening for the Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) and the Seventh-day Adventists in the British colony of Hong Kong to air religious progr…
Qiuwen (Bibliomancy)
The production of the Union Bible was designed to provide Chinese Protestants with a standardised sacred text to better understand and approach the Christian faith in their native language. While believers regard the translated Scripture as a moral compass that gives spiritual references to everyday challenges, the methods of acquiring these references point to individual creativity and improvisation. When the Union Bible was banned from circulat…

Much has been written on the high-profile cases of church and cross demolitions in China’s metropolitan cities such as Wenzhou, Ningbo, and Hangzhou, but little attention is paid to the church demolition disputes in rural hinterlands. This article draws on my fieldwork among rural Seventh-day Adventists to examine a case of church demolition, known as the Stone Ground Church incident, in rural Zhejiang Province on May 4, 2012. This incident seems…
Almost Democratic
The Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong (2014) read like a living tale of David and Goliath. Peaceful demonstrators held flimsy umbrellas to defend themselves against tear gas, pepper spray, and police batons. While many observers applauded the spontaneity of the citywide protests, little attention has been paid to the involvement of the Christian church in the prodemocracy struggle. This article draws on field observations and media reports to examin…
Guanxi and Gospel
This article studies the symbiotic relationship between social networks and Christian conversion among some Seventh-day Adventists in contemporary China. Drawing on the Chinese Adventist testimonies, I argue that the longstanding kinship, friendship, and discipleship networks ( guanxi 關係) are fundamental to the Adventist conversion process. This extensive web of human relationships helps sustain potential converts’ interest in Christianity, nurtu…
