Christians in China Tell Their Story
Wise as Serpents Harmless as Doves recalls the incredible journey of the Chinese Church in the face of unimaginable adversity from 1949 through 1984. Following the communist victory in the civil war in 1949, the church in China found itself in a precarious position, pressured to sever ties with fellow Christians abroad and limit its activities within its own land. As obstacles mounted, the survival of a remnant seemed like the only hope for the Chinese Church.
Through interviews and testimonies gathered by the Chinese Church Research Center, a remarkable phrase emerged: "wise as serpents and harmless as doves." The Chinese Christians adapted to the changing times, adjusting their approach to remain faithful to their beliefs. When persecution was rampant, they gathered secretly and in small numbers. When society relaxed, they boldly proclaimed their faith.
This book captures the stories of these courageous believers, a testament to God's blessings in the midst of oppression and rapid change. From the formation of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) to the rise of the house church phenomenon, the narrative sheds light on the struggles, triumphs, and unwavering spirit of Chinese Christians.
Wise as Serpents Harmless as Doves is an enlightening and inspiring chronicle that honors the millions who played a part in one of the greatest movements for Christ in this century. Through their fragmented voices, the book resounds with a resolute call to glorify His name.
