Description

Explore a detailed historical study of Christianity in late-nineteenth-century China with The Bible and the Gun. Part of the East Asia Series from Routledge, this book provides a fresh perspective on the religious landscape of Guangdong province between 1860 and 1900. By focusing on American Baptist and English Presbyterian missions, the text examines how Christian conversions shaped local communities. It looks at the development of Christian villages and the complex power dynamics that existed between Christians and non-Christians, as well as the relationships between different Christian denominations. This work stands out due to its extensive research foundation. It combines Protestant missionary records and Chinese archival materials with original fieldwork data collected from several Christian villages. This multi-layered approach offers a deep look into the social and religious transformations occurring in South China during this era. It is an essential resource for those studying Asian history, religious studies, or the colonial period in China.
