by Dana Roberts

Book Overview

There was Andrew Murray in South Africa and Watchman Nee in China, and it's difficult to know whose books influenced the most Christians lives. Yet this is the first theological study of Nee's writings and the Chinese philosophy that influenced much of what he believed and taught.

Customer Reviews

Kudos Dr. Roberts!

Dr. Roberts, I commend you on this work which has been carried in your heart and mind for many years. It is my hope that on your next visit to North Carolina I shall be able to obtain an autographed copy. I am sure that your theology students enjoy interacting with a westerner who loves the Chinese culture and loves theological discussion. I await your next publication.

Author's response

My son laughed at the two reviews. Especially the comment about racism. My wife Xia Deping thought it is funning too. As for errors and shallowness, I can only say that I had Chinese Christians inside and outside China read it. They apparently are shallow and racist too! I think the authors' intent is to make sure that no one buys my book and finds out that Watchman Nee was like David and the disciples who argued who was greatest. To say that he brought people closer to God is not to say he is perfect. I am also mystified how someone could say I am racist and is also disturbed that Nee may have been influenced by Chinese culture.
