"The volume, edited by Tao Feiya and translated into English for the first time by Max Bohnenkamp, traces the history of Christianity in China and explores the dynamics of Christian practices in Chinese society. Its twenty chapters, written by Chinese scholars of history, span the development of Christianity in China from the era of the Tang Dynasty to the People's Republic of China. The four parts of the volume explore the Sinicization of Christian texts and thought, the conflicts within China between Christianity and Chinese institutions, relations between religious groups, and societal issues beyond religion. Taken together, this volume places the practice of Christianity in China into the context of world history, while investigating the particular and localized challenges of Christianity in China throughout history"-- Provided by publisher.
