How Religious Organizations Influence Chinese Conversion to Evangelical Protestantism in the United States

摘要

This article explores how religious organizations have influenced Chinese immigrant's conversion to evangelical Protestantism. Using data collected through ethnographic fieldwork in a major metropolitan area in the Midwest from 1998 to 2003, I describe the extensive resources devoted to evangelism by religious institutions and argue that they must play an important role in converting Chinese immigrants to evangelical Protestantism.
