In this new work, David Aikman, former Beijing Bureau Chief for Time magazine, presents us with an invaluable overview of recent developments in the unregistered Chinese house churches, together with a brief survey of relevant Chinese church history.
It contains helpful profiles of spiritual leaders ('Uncles') recognised particularly by Chinese Christians. Invariably they are people who have survived extreme harassment and persecution, usually including imprisonment and torture, and who rightly continue to be regarded as role-models for younger believers.
