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.

評分書中舉瞭很多日常生活例子,簡單易懂,讀畢後對中國的現代變遷有更深刻的理解和反思,特彆是關於溫州的基督教會的權力運作和發展,是一本不可多得的好書,對於想瞭解中國現今都市發展的人來說,是一本非常具有參考價值的書。

整個清明節假期都耗在這個上麵瞭……
評分人類學研究方法。當基督教遭遇溫州老闆,好一幅活色生香的中國當代宗教社會圖捲!
評分計做一個寫作模式,jerusalem這個詞有點大。
評分Helpful~
評分田野認真細緻,然而深度略嫌不足,對精神層麵的討論有所欠缺。可以和Tanya Luhrmann的書比較閱讀 | What is there beyond capitalist self-fashioning? | 20121021
