Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid portrayal of Christianity in one of the world's most densely populated cities, Hong Kong. This book includes portraits of Christians at both the grassroots and the highest echelons of wealth and power, and voices the perspectives of both social activists and conservatives. Various denominational traditions are introduced, from spiritually progressive Christians to conservative evangelicals and Pentecostals. Tobias Brandner describes the social and educational ministries of Christians and how they have shaped society, and the unique missional position of Hong Kong Christians in their outreach to China. Depicting how Christianity has extended into all parts of society, including arts and entertainment, Christians in the City of Hong Kong delves into postcolonial theological reflection, which Hong Kong theologians, within the Chinese language and culture yet outside the empire, are in a unique position to develop.
