Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth life history interviews, this illuminating book provides an intimate portrait of contemporary Chinese Christianity in the context of a modern, commercialized economy. In vivid detail, anthropologist Nanlai Cao explores the massive resurgence of Protestant Christianity in the southeastern coastal city of Wenzhou--popularly referred to by its residents as "China's Jerusalem"--a nationwide model for economic development and the largest urban Christian center in China.
Cao's study of Chinese Christians delves into the dynamics of activities such as banqueting, network building, property acquisition, mate selection, marriage ritual, migrant work, and education. Unlike previous research that has mainly looked at older, rural, and socially marginalized church communities, Cao trains his focus on economically powerful, politically connected, moralizing Christian entrepreneurs. In framing the city of Wenzhou as China's Jerusalem, newly rich Chinese Christians seek not only to express their leadership aspirations in a global religious movement but also to assert their place, identity, and elite status in post-reform Chinese society.

Christian youths’ moral purity is rewarded with a holy and romantic wedding ritual characterized by Western elements and forms such as a choir, a pastor, Mendelssn’s “Wedding March,” a flower arch, and a bride in a long frilly white dress and a veil walking down the red carpeted aisle on her father’s arm to meet her groom in a Western suit. White signifies death in traditional Chinese culture and used to be avoided at weddings. The adoption of white bridal dress and veil is an imitation of Western Christian weddings in which the color symbolizes holiness and purity rather than misfortune. Such an “authentic” Western wedding enhances one’s status and prestige in the church community. (查看原文)

前些日子我在温州的火车南站候车，看到在候车室的检票口上方有一巨幅广告。这是一幅有关房地产项目的广告（项目是文成某置业公司的），上面写着：神力·迦南美地国际养生度假区（International Health Resort of Canaan Villa）；应许之地，颐养一生。候车室里或许有很多人不会...

虽然采用的是日常生活的角度，但还是觉得不够深入。但是作为一本研究当代温州基督教的新近作品，还是非常有带头作用的~PS：温州人真是骨子里的理性计算~
