Builders of the Chinese Church

Evangelism & Missions

“A wonderful collection of excellent biographies of some most important figures in the history of China mission, written by the leading experts in the field.”

Darkest before the Dawn

History & Biography

“A badly needed volume with solid scholarship, popular appeal, and personal touch. It should be highly relevant and significant for anyone who cares about the Chinese church and its ministry.”

Encountering China

History & Biography

“Kaiser’s work is a major contribution to the study of Timothy Richard, a towering figure in modern mission history of China. It gives us a much more nuanced narrative and interpretation of Richard’s famous missiological adjustment, and points to the complex dynamics of Protestant missionary movement in the nineteenth-century China. The future scholarship of China mission history would benefit from this outstanding work.”
