Description
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. David Aikman, former Beijing bureau chief for Time, take you inside this new revolution to explore: - why the Chinese believe that Christianity is crucial to the rise of the West, and therefore of China - why fierce anti-Christian persecution and covert government encouragement exist side by side in China - how the Christian underground has spread, and won over key members of the Chinese Communist Party - the impact of a largely Christian China on global politics
