Christians
In China
A.D. 600 to 2000
Christianity
first came to China by way of the Silk Road in the seventh century, and, ever
since, this great and enduring civilization in the heart of Asia has been
home to brothers and sisters of Christ.
Christians in China: A.D. 600 to 2000 chronicles the lives of the Chinese
faithful who through the centuries have been both accepted and rejected by
their own countrymen. It explores the unique religious and political situations
in which Chinese Christians, Catholic and Protestant, have struggled to live
their faith and give witness to Christ.
This major work covers each of the historic periods in China with a focus
on the development of Christianity and its cultural interaction in each period.
It shows the evolution of Christianity as it occurred within the People’s
Republic of China. While telling the stories of various Christians throughout
Chinese history, the author addresses a few key questions: How the did the
Church develop over many centuries in a culture so different from the West?
How do Christians in China give witness to their faith? How do they contribute
to the life of the universal Church? The answer to such questions provides
a meaningful historical background to the broad approach of Pope Benedict
XVI in His Letter to the Catholics in China issued on June 30, 2007. Illustrated.
