    About this ebook

    This is the first collection of essays to discuss the impact of the Cold War (1945-1990) on Christianity in East Asia. In historical overviews, case studies and theological reflections, scholars from Asia, Europe and North America explore the variety of ways in which the Cold War has shaped the churches' involvement in society, politics and culture. The Cold War continues to have an impact the Korean peninsula, in Greater China and throughout the region. Churches are challenged to address the issues of the past that affect Christian life today.

    [Die in diesem Band gesammelten Aufsätze setzen sich erstmals aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit den Auswirkungen des Kalten Krieges (1945-1990) auf das Christentum in Ostasien auseinander. In geschichtlichen Übersichten, Fallbeispielen und theologischen Erörterungen erkunden Wissenschaftler aus Asien, Europa und Nordamerika die vielfältigen Wege in denen er das Engagement der Kirchen in Gesellschaft, Politik und Kultur beeinflußt hat. Der Kalte Krieg wirkt auf der Koreanischen Halbinsel, China und vielen anderen Ländern der Region noch stets nach. Die Kirchen sind herausgefordert, sich diesem geschichtlichem Erbe zu stellen, das Auswirkungen bis in das christliche Leben heute hat.]
