The rise of Christianity in China is one of the biggest stories of religious change in the modern era. According to the dominant secularization paradigm, Christianity and other organized religions should be shrinking in developed countries like China. But the paradigm proves to be false. Purdue University Professor Fenggang Yang, an expert in the sociology of religion in the Global East, has studied these trends for many decades. He argues that, while this growth might be unexpected, it is not historically unprecedented for Christianity to flourish in the soil of social and political persecution. Join us as Professor Yang examines the expected growth of religion.
