The three articles included in this volume engage a number of key questions related to women’s experiences in the history of Christianity in East Asia. In particular, they explore the following questions in one way or another: For East Asian women whose lives have been deeply shaped by Confucian gender ideology, what does it mean to become Christian; How has the imported religion interacted with existing religious traditions and local cultures?; What ramifications has the adoption of the new religion had for women in terms of advancing their status in society and the church? How have Christian women coped with the tensions between church and state? What structural and discursive forces have shaped women’s experiences in Christian spirituality and church organizations? In what ways have women found agency in choosing their own life path?
