Investigates the reasons behind the rapid growth of a True Jesus Church in a certain locality in China, as well as the internal division and external conflicts it encountered. This study argues that the practical question of church development boils down to the theoretical issue of the “establishment and expression of religious authority,” and explores the dialogue between different religions, the relationship between church and government, religion development and social transition. By drawing parallels between religious studies in sociology and the sociological study of religion, the book also explores the relationship between religion and society.
