Out of the dark shadows, into the light of the global stage. 520 $a "The Christian church was always destined to find its way to China. Long before the birth of the church, China existed, coalescing around profound philosophical concepts and powerful cultural symbols. It developed into a dynamic and enduring civilization. In time, Christian missionaries arrived on its shores, driven to bring the gospel to this people. This book starts with the story of that journey: the arrival of the missionaries who planted the seeds of the gospel in Chinese soil. As the seeds sprouted and grew, a new story of a unique and distinct Chinese church began. The epic narrative opens from uncertain beginnings in darkness, passes through intense hardship and years of struggle, and culminates with the triumphal emergence of the Chinese church from the shadows into the light of the global stage."--Publisher. 651 0 $a China $x Church history. 650 0 $a Christianity $z China. 830 0 $a Studies in Chinese christianity. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C2E1F0EDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
