Bob Fu Is Alive and Thriving

Review by Melanie Kirkpatrick

China is not the most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian, but, as God’s Double Agent chillingly describes, Chinese Christians must live out their faith in a hostile environment. Beijing does not ban Christianity outright. Instead, it seeks to control it. It does so by various means, including channeling worshippers into official, government-sponsored churches; banning the printing of Bibles; limiting church-based social services; and monitoring the activities of religious leaders. Christians go to jail for distributing religious materials, founding unlicensed house churches, opposing abortion, criticizing the government, and other perceived transgressions.

Count Bob Fu guilty of all such “crimes.”
