Published: History of Christianity into China

 

An overview of Christianity into China from the first century to 1949, Chinese paperback, 427 pages, in four parts:

Part I: A historical overview, from the Legend of St. Thomas in the Han Dynasty to Nestorian Christianity in the Tang Dynasty; from Erkeunor Arkaim in the Yuan Dynasty to Catholicism in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Part II: From Robert Morrison to the Opium Wars, from Hudson Taylor to the Boxer Rebellion, the arrival of these missionaries led to the rise of the local church.

The footprints of missionaries can be found in every corner of modern China.
