Acquainted With Grief

For decades, Christians across the globe have watched and prayed for the persecuted church in China. Despite our genuine concern, we're often left with more questions than answers. For example, what is the political and social history of the persecuted church in China? What is the current condition of the church? When should Christians practice political dissent, and what are its theological and biblical grounds? According to Thomas Harvey, the answers to all of these questions may be found by asking another crucial question: Who was Wang Mingdao? This unique book, rich with twentieth-century political and religious Chinese history, will fascinate anyone interested in Asian history, missions, politics and theology, and questions of faith and dissent. Acquainted with Grief provides the fascinating account of how evangelist and minister Wang Mingdao emerged from humble roots to take a dramatic stand against the state-sponsored Chinese churches. After twenty years in prison, Wang was finally released as an old man, securing his legacy as "Dean of the House Churches" in China.
