Most first-generation Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Christians in East Asia are battling this crucial issue as they attempt to find Christian alternatives to these practices. In this book, 16 Asians and four Western Christians express their views on this crucial issue from the biblical, historical, practical, and grassroots perspectives and provide Asian Christians with alternatives to ancestral practices.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Bong Rin Ro</note> <subject> <topic>Dead -- Worship -- Congress</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Ancestor worship -- Congresses</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity and culture</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>History -- Culture</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">299.512213</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B713-R63</classification> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/21/z3583881672045_e292502c6504f2bc3cd8343f333bcab6.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/21/z3583881672045_e292502c6504f2bc3cd8343f333bcab6.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070713.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
