Christianity is one of the largest and most rapidly growing religions in Asia. This book examines how Christians in Asia express their religion under the spectre of the nation state and processes of globalization. Written by specialists from diverse disciplinary and institutional backgrounds in Asia, the USA and Europe, it analysis how Christian followers, missionaries, theologians and activists negotiate their public roles and identities vis-a-vis various forms of Asian states, particularly in the context of post-colonial nation-building and socio-economic development. Considering Christianity's growing prominence, and the various ways Asian nation states respond to this growth, this book brings into sharper analytical focus the ways in which the faith is articulated at the local, regional, and global level.
