A New History of Christianity in China

"No one has a surer grip than Daniel Bays on the complexities of the Christian experience in China. Based on the most up-to-date scholarship, Chinese as well as Western, this long-awaited account takes the story from the earliest Chinese contacts with Christianity in the Tang dynasty to the emergence of an increasingly "post-Western Christianity" in the China of the early twenty-first century. A truly groundbreaking work."
—Paul Cohen, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard University

"This study is a splendid culmination to Daniel Bays' life-long engagement with Chinese history. It is lucid, succinct, balanced, reader-friendly, informative, and altogether authoritative. Readers interested in solid historical treatment of the dynamic story of Christianity in China need look no further. This is THE book."
—Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame
