Summary:

"Within the context of fraught historical and continued ethno-cultural tensions, this book considers the unique interreligious engagement between Han Chinese Christians and Uyghur Muslims. Stemming from his time living and researching in Xinjiang, China, Michael L. Copeland highlights oral histories from both Han and Uyghur contexts, engaging the barriers and opportunities in their interreligious engagement. Though culturally and religiously rubbing shoulders for centuries, Han and Uyghur believers each view the other through the lens of foreigners yet from shared, familiar lands. Specifically considering cross-cultural missiology, Copeland explores the assumptions Han Christians missionaries bring to their work and acknowledges the dangers of only relying on Western mission agencies views of Uyghur Muslims"-- Bloomsbury Collections
