Taiping Theology by Carl S Kilcourse

This book examines the theological worldview of the Taiping Rebellion (1850-64), a Chinese revolutionary movement whose leader, Hong Xiuquan (1814-64), claimed to be the second son of God and younger brother of Jesus.
“Taiping Theology achieves its author’s aim of presenting the religious beliefs of the Taiping movement as a form of localized Chinese Christianity… It will be useful reading for specialists and advanced students in modern history, Chinese religions, and Christian missions and world Christianity.” (Ryan Dunch, China Review International, Vol. 23 (4), 2016)​

Carl S. Kilcourse is Lecturer in Chinese History at Nottingham Trent University, UK.
