Abstract
What accounts for the occurrence of conservative religious reform in the wake of radical revolutionary change? This paper begins to explore this theoretical question by considering the emergence of theologically conservative indigenous churches in China during the Republican period until the outbreak of war with Japan (1911–1937). During this period, a number of geographically and organizationally diverse indigenous Christian movements emerged. While a change in Chinese law allowing for Chinese established churches seemingly lies at the heart of this change, there are a number of important causal mechanisms which account for the particular relationship between revolution and religious reform that we find in the Republican Era indigenization movement.
