Recensioner i media

“Taiping Theology achieves its author’s aim of presenting the religious beliefs of the Taiping movement as a form of localized Chinese Christianity. … It will be useful reading for specialists and advanced students in modern history, Chinese religions, and Christian missions and world Christianity.” (Ryan Dunch, China Review International, Vol. 23 (4), 2016)
