发帖数: 55 | 1 Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth life history
interviews, this illuminating book provides an intimate portrait of
contemporary Chinese Christianity in the context of a modern, commercialized
economy. In vivid detail, anthropologist Nanlai Cao explores the massive
resurgence of Protestant Christianity in the southeastern coastal city of
Wenzhou--popularly referred to by its residents as "China's Jerusalem"--a
nationwide model for economic development and the largest urban Christian
center in China.
Cao's study of Chinese Christians delves into the dynamics of activities
such as banqueting, network building, property acquisition, mate selection,
marriage ritual, migrant work, and education. Unlike previous research that
has mainly looked at older, rural, and socially marginalized church
communities, Cao trains his focus on economically powerful, politically
connected, moralizing Christian entrepreneurs. In framing the city of
Wenzhou as China's Jerusalem, newly rich Chinese Christians seek not only to
express their leadership aspirations in a global religious movement but
also to assert their place, identity, and elite status in post-reform
Chinese society. | n*******l
