Now revised and updated to incorporate numerous new materials, this is the major source for researching American Christian activity in China, especially that of missions and missionaries. It provides a thorough introduction and guide to primary and secondary sources on Christian enterprises and individuals in China that are preserved in hundreds of libraries, archives, historical societies, headquarters of religious orders, and other repositories in the United States. It includes data from the beginnings of Christianity in China in the early eighth century through 1952, when American missionary activity in China virtually ceased. For this new edition, the institutional base has shifted from the Princeton Theological Seminary (Protestant) to the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural Relations at the University of San Francisco (Jesuit), reflecting the ecumenical nature of this monumental undertaking.
This book weaves a narrative that brilliantly illuminates the spiritual legacy and vibrant presence of God in the lives of missionaries connected to the Ambassadors for Christ, Inc. (AFC), those who inherited Leaman Place—the land of promise—and the author whom God called to write this book. It proclaims a powerful message: God is an ever-active, living presence, guiding us in the past and continuing to move in our lives today. We are instruments in His divine symphony, called to heed His commands. Through our obedience, God fulfills His will, enabling us to leave a profound and enduring impact that transcends our earthly existence. This legacy of faith magnifies the glory of God and inspires generations, calling nations to know Him and seek His face.
In Fusion of East and West, Limin Bai presents a major work in the English language that focuses on Chinese textbooks and the education of children for a new China in a critical transitional period, 1902–1915. This study examines the life and work of Wang Hengtong (1868–1928), a Chinese Christian educator, and other Christian and secular writings through a historical and comparative lens and against the backdrop of the socio-political, ideological, and intellectual frameworks of the time. By doing so, it offers a fresh perspective on the significant connection between Christian education, Chinese Christian educators and the birth of a modern educational system. It unravels a cross-cultural process whereby missionary education and the Chinese education system were mutually re-shaped.
