From Mystery to Maturity
Re-Examining Christian Mysticism for the Spiritual Theology and Unity of Chinese Evangelicalism
About this book
As Chinese evangelicals seek spiritual renewal and greater intimacy with God, Christian mysticism is an enriching resource. In this study, Dr. Qianhong Catherine Chen traces the history of Chinese evangelical spirituality, from 1805 to the present, and contends that the path towards greater transformation can be found by appropriating the mystical tradition. Firmly rooted within evangelical convictions, Chen identifies seven core motifs within mysticism that offer unique pathways for spiritual maturity and communal unity for evangelicals in the mainland and across the diaspora. Through the integration of biblical leadership and social identity theory, Chen provides Christian leaders with a practical and contextualized guide for encouraging spiritual growth amongst believers. Scholars, pastors, Chinese Christians, and beyond will greatly benefit from this excellent resource.
