“Jie Kang’s multisited ethnography offers a rare insider’s view of unregistered house churches in the Chinese city of Linyi and their informal connections to house churches elsewhere. It is an important contribution to our understanding of the fast-expanding house church Christianity in the context of China’s modern transformation.” (Nanlai Cao, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong)
“This is richest ethnography of Chinese house church Christianity I have ever read, framed by a subtle theory of networked religion that captures the fluidity of the faith’s transitions between countryside and city in a rapidly modernizing China.” (Richard Madsen, UC San Diego, USA)
