It also considers Christianity's role in countries whose Christian origins were historically linked, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, China, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. As a point of comparison, it also considers those Middle Eastern countries with the deepest Christian roots, yet whose histories are most turbulent. It is this breadth of coverage that offers readers such an illuminating overview into the impact and role of Christianity; showing it to be a vibrant contemporary movement in many Asian countries, despite its comparatively minority status in these regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter C.
