Review Quotes:
"This original and insightful study of the indigenization of Christianity among Lisu communities in China's southwestern borderlands is thoroughly researched, convincingly argued, and beautifully written. Aminta Arrington draws on extensive ethnographic information, archival materials, and local Lisu publications to contextualize the making of Lisu churches in the new century."
--Joseph Tse-Hei Lee, author of The Bible and the Gun: Christianity in South China, 1860-1900
