Binding Of Sin:a Fieldwork Research On Christian Iconoclasm In A Village In Eastern China

Based on the fieldwork done in a village in Eastern China about the Christian life of faith, this paper takes the hitting point of iconoclasm, analyzes the empirical documentation and obtains several conclusions following:1, it confirms the judgment of Catholic group in Duan Zhuang drawn by Wu Fei, namely that, similarly to those Catholics, the Christians in such a village are living a not so much different daily life as other villagers live; 2, these are the reasons:these believers prove themselves be the chosen by iconoclasm which was directly generated from their conversion for illness, and they never doubt their identity of sons and daughters of God, so that they cannot carry out consistent ethical-practice stimulated by particular mental motivation; then this kind of conversion influences on subsequent technology of evangelization and technology of prayer in daily life and in the state of illness, which also fail to arouse that consistent ethical-practice.
