Peter Bryant, ChinaSource Reading this book exposed me to another facet of how the gospel has impacted Chinese society and history. Some of the experiences recorded in this book are instructive for current challenges facing Christian churches, leaders, and believers in China. Any reader interested in Chinese church history of the last 100 years will find this book an interesting and enlightening addition to their understanding of the complexity and varied streams of God's work in China.
Colleen McDannell, Church History Far from being a dry, institutional history, China and the True Jesus is a tour de force of scholarship. Inouye has resisted the unfortunate trend of quick summaries and instead offers a sprightly written, wide-ranging account. She surveys the academic debates, unearths and translates rare primary source materials, and captures the feel of the miraculous worlds of believers. While she takes dreams and visions seriously, she helps us understand their significance by carefully framing the supernatural within history. China and the True Jesus is recommended not only for those interested in China but for anyone looking for a compelling story of how religions are born and survive.
Alexander Chow, Review of Religion and Chinese Society Melissa Inouye has written a beautiful book: rich in historical particularity about Wei Enbo and the True Jesus Church, analytically sophisticated in conceptual framings, and handsomely woven into the tapestry of Chinese Christianity. In a work which has been skillfully transformed from a PhD dissertation into a monograph, Inouye offers junior and senior scholars alike an exemplar in the craft of writing, which is so lacking in the academic guild. This book is an important and groundbreaking read for those who wish to learn more about the twentieth- and twenty-first-century course of Chinese Christianity and, indeed, for students and scholars of new religious movements and world Christianity.
Journal of Asia Pacific Anthropology A major contribution to the field of Chinese Christianity and will be of interest to anthropologists of religion, scholars of world Christianity and new religious movements, as well as those who specialise in researching religion in Chinese contexts.
