Christianity in Asia explores the history, development, and
current state of Christianity across the world’s largest and
most populous continent.
* Offers detailed coverage of the growth of Christianity within
South Asia; among the thousands of islands comprising Southeast
Asia; and across countries whose Christian origins were
historically linked, including Vietnam, Thailand, China, Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Japan, and Korea
* Brings together a truly international team of contributors,
many of whom are natives of the countries they are writing
about
* Considers the Middle Eastern countries whose Christian roots
are deepest, yet have turbulent histories and uncertain
futures
* Explores the ways in which Christians in Asian countries have
received and transformed Christianity into their local or
indigenous religion
* Shows Christianity to be a vibrant contemporary movement in
many Asian countries, despite its comparatively minority status in
these regions
