The records of cross-cultural envoys of Christ across the centuries and around the world furnish contexts, contrasts, and comparisons by which to see the missionary movement in China in a broader and deeper perspective.
As background to books specifically about missions to China, additional books on the general history of missions have been included. We should not confine our reading to the Chinese culture, history, and Christianity in China, but should study the history of missions in other places as well.
This collection contains reviews (which are more like summaries) of books both about missions in general and the missionary movement in China in particular.
Teachers may want to assign one or more of these to students as supplementary reading or material for oral or written reports.
Scholars can use them to refresh their memory of works read long ago, perhaps. There may even be some titles they have not yet had time to read or can not easily access.
The general reader can quickly gain a knowledge of the missionary movement in China from these descriptions of important and representative works by experts in the field.
