In addition to family structures based on biological ties, contributors to this volume also examine other kinship groups based on systems of mutual care, highlighting the multiple perspectives and diverse values shared by Asian Catholics who produce and define social groupings that are recognized as families. Featuring case studies from South, Southeast, and East Asia, these chapters complicate the conventional view that Catholicism disrupts local cultures, considering not only how Asian families and Catholicism mutually constitute and transform each other in terms of interfaith dialogue, ethnic identity, and clergy-laity dynamics, but also how marriage, kinship, and filial piety become sites of active engagement and constant negotiation with their faith in the shaping and living of their family relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Chambon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822949016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822949015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Michel Chambon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460169085183,"sku":"9780822949015","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af6a9b94-e721-4ff1-902f-50b4ad77636c.jpg?v=1777413318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asian-catholicism-and-the-remaking-michel-chambon-9780822949015","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
