Within the next 30 years, one-third of China's population
could be Christian, making China one of the largest
Christian nations in the world. These Christians could
also be China¡¯s leaders, guiding the largest economy in the
world.
What is happening in China is what happened to the
Roman Empire nearly two millennia ago ¨C a great power
transforming itself.
David Aikman explains:
¡ö Why China might be the West¡¯s next ally against radical
Islam
¡ö Why the Chinese believe that Christianity is crucial to
the rise of the West ¨C and of China
¡ö Why fierce anti-Christian persecution and covert
government encouragement exist side by side in China
¡ö How the Christian underground has spread ¨C and won
over key members of the Chinese Communist Party
In Jesus in Beijing, David Aikman recounts the fascinating
story of how Christianity began in China, even predating
Francis Xavier and the Jesuits; the bloody anti-Christian
persecutions, especially under the Communists; the revival
of an underground Christian movement led by brave men
and women risking death; and the current flowering of the
Christian faith despite ongoing persecution.
The Chinese dragon may yet be tamed by the Christian
Lamb.
