Summary:

Austin (Alphacrucis College, Queensland, Australia) explores how the Christian identity of Chinese business Christians relates to their motivation to contribute to their immediate environment during the first 50 years of the 20th century in China. She covers the rise of the Chinese Christian merchant class, the making of Chinese business Christians, Christian identity and social contribution, doing business as a Christian in early 20th-century China, where Eastern philanthropy and Western charity collide, building the indigenous church in China, a comparison with Chinese business Catholics, Chinese business Christians in early 20th-century Australia, and kingdom-minded contemporary Chinese business Christians.
