This series addresses Christianity in Modern China since the end of the Opium War in 1842, after which China was opened to foreign countries, companies, missions and individuals, to the present.
This series focuses on the history and development of Christianity on the regional and local basis; for example, the Northeast of China, the Fujian Province and Shanghai city. The existing literature has very few titles on local stories, which cover Chinese-foreign joint collaboration, Chinese and foreign individuals and personalities, and specific missionary endeavors. Therefore, this series would fill in the gap in the knowledge of Christianity in regional and local studies in modern China. It includes a number of disciplines—history, political science, theology, religious studies, gender studies and sociology. It covers the presence of the Catholic Church, the Protestant Churches and the Orthodox Church in China. It addresses the presence of the Americans, the French, the Italians, the Portuguese and other foreigners in China; and their relations with the Chinese.
