China’s Ambassadors of Christ to the Nations

Evangelism & Missions

“As China’s global influence is increasing, its church is breaking new ground in sending missionaries beyond China’s borders. Tabor Laughlin’s research raises important considerations about how best to prepare these workers for longevity in the field. Building upon existing studies of missionary retention, he brings to light unique factors affecting the ability of Chinese missionaries to adapt and to thrive. This will be a valuable resource for international agencies seeking to partner with China’s mission sending movement.”

Darkest before the Dawn

History & Biography

“Through meticulous research and engaging personal insights, Richard Cook skillfully weaves together the historical and theological threads that make up the story of Christianity in China, bringing this story to life and inviting the reader into the lives of Chinese Christians through the centuries. His careful, balanced treatment of the perennial issues facing Chinese Christianity provides the background for a thought-provoking look at the role of China’s church in the twenty-first century.”

Faith in a Pluralist Age

World Religions

“Kaye Cook brings together a robust and much-needed debate about the implications of pluralism for Christian engagement in today’s world. For Christians who find themselves in a social environment that increasingly resembles that of the early church, this volume provides a refreshing perspective. The overall discussion is particularly relevant to China, where a growing Christian community continues to negotiate the terms of its engagement in a society that struggles between pluralism and politically imposed orthodoxy.”

The Chinese Exodus

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In the past two decades China has witnessed the most massive peacetime internal migration in the history of the world. Ma’s groundbreaking study of China’s urban migrants combines careful sociological research with deep theological reflection as she responds to the biblical injunction to both ‘know the stranger’ and ‘welcome the stranger.’ Her penetrating analysis reveals the paradox of those who, due to the entrenched discrimination of China’s socialist system and the forces of capitalist domination, live as immigrants in their own country.”

The History of Christian Missions in Guangxi, China

Evangelism & Missions

“Meticulously researched and skillfully narrated, Lin’s documentary portrait gives voice to the hundreds of missionaries and their children, many of them martyrs, who brought the gospel to Guangxi province. This valuable contribution to the history of Chinese Christianity fills out an important chapter, the significance of which extends beyond the borders of Guangxi and even China.”
