What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“This superb example of faculty-student collaborative research, led by Professor Gloria Tseng, provides matchless insights into the cross-cultural dynamics of Christian witness among the Amoy in China. The essayists examined archival resources to open up the lives and services of seven female and five male American missionaries. They show how their incarnational witness to the gospel influenced every aspect of both the Amoy and the missionaries; their witness speaks to us afresh today.”


—Daniel Jeyaraj, Liverpool Hope University





“Many of the sources for telling the history of Chinese Christianity are located in archival holdings outside of China. This collection of essays is an excellent example of how such holdings can be tapped and how students can be engaged to recount this history and retell the experiences of missionaries. The names of RCA missionaries chronicled in this book, such as John Otte and Tena Holkeboer, are still heard in churches in Xiamen today and deserve to be commemorated.”
