Kritik

"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)mehr
