Informationen zum Autor Edited by Anthony E. Clark - Contributions by Thomas H. Reilly; Robert Entenmann; Linda Gerber; Michael Maher; Liu Anrong and Joseph Tse-Hei Lee Klappentext Western missionaries in China often considered themselves "voluntary exiles" in a distant land, while Chinese considered Christians either the demons of imperialism or the angels of modernization. This collection of new research provides insights into attempts to bridge the social and religious divide that separated China and the West, and serves as an artful and captivating history of how missionaries and native Christians confronted the sometimes violent antagonisms caused by cultural and linguistic difference.
