Christianity and the Peng Lineage. .Christianity flourishes in areas facing profound dislocations amidst regime change and warfare. This book explains the appeal of Christianity in the Chaozhou-Shantou (Chaoshan) region during a time of transition, from a stage of disintegration in the late imperial era into the cosmopolitan and entrepreneurial area it is today. The authors argue that Christianity played multiple roles in Chaoshan, facilitating mutual accommodations and adaptations among foreign missionaries and native converts. The trajectory of Christianization should be understood as a process of civilizational change that inspired individuals and communities to construct a sacred order capable of empowerment in times of chaos and confusion. .Religion and sociologyChina—HistoryReligion and politicsReligion and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8020History of Chinahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010Politics and Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911250Religion and sociology.China—History.Religion and politics.Religion and Society.History of China.Politics and Religion.275.1Lee Joseph Tse-Heiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300616703321Christianizing South China1917751UNINA
