Whilst strongly influenced by cultural heritage, powerful modernizing forces and tumultuous political changes, the new Christian identity inculcated by Protestant missionaries motivated these entrepreneurs to modify their business practices, improve their social environment and extend the influence of Christianity. Protestant and Catholic sojourners likewise made significant contributions into their adopted communities. With unprecedented economic growth in China today, a fascinating contemporary parallel can be seen, particularly through the influence of Pentecostal, charismatic and evangelical training. Previous research has explored the emergence of the urban Christian élite in modern China. However, this systematic study provides new understanding of how Christian identity motivates Chinese business Christians toward economic, social and religious contribution. 410 0$aGlobal Pentecostal and Charismatic studies ;$vv. 8. 606 $aBusinesspeople$xReligious life$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBusiness$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xChurch history$y20th century 615 0$aBusinesspeople$xReligious life$xHistory 615 0$aBusiness$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory 676 $a261.8/5089951009041 700 $aAustin$b Denise A$01140701 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781744103321 996 $a"Kingdom-minded" people$93814348 997 $aUNINA
