This edited volume starts from the perspectives of Beijing in how it sees that religion should serve the interests of the state. From China''s viewpoint, religion should act as a stabilizing force of society, or else the Christian Churches will lose their reason for existence. This might be incomprehensible to Western Christians, who believe in the freedom of religion and their right to embrace their faith.
