Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Revelation
by Zhou Weichi
About This Novel
This book re-explores the Christian origins of the Taiping ideology from the perspective of the history of global missionary work of modern Western Christianity, revealing the close relationship between the Taiping Rebellion and millenarianism and eschatology, especially the relationship between Hong Xiuquan and apocalyptic theology, and Hong Rengan and the "Christian civilization view" of the Protestant missionaries. The book is divided into five chapters: "Religious Wars Caused by Religious Revolutions", "A Different Kind of Christianity", "The Taiping Rebellion and the Apocalypse", "Millennialism and Its Interpretation", and "A Modernization Plan for a Christian Country". Based on a large number of text contrasts, comparisons and analyses, this book refutes many popular views and puts forward new perspectives.
