Confession in early modern Europe has been the subject of several
studies. But what happened to the confessional practice when it
moved to other cultures? This is the major research question of the
present book as applied to late Ming and early Qing China. The
origin of this research can be traced back to the Handbook of
Christianity in China: Volume One (635-1800) (Leiden 2000) compiled
by researchers of the K.U. Leuven, in collaboration with an
international team of circa twenty scholars. As a reference work,
the Handbook comprehensively presents many different aspects of
Christianity in China, including sciences, arts and crafts. But
there was one major absentee: ritual, which is often considered
essential for understanding China. A first step in filling this gap
was the organisation of an international workshop on "Chinese and
Christian Rituality in Late Imperial China" (Leuven, June 2004).
The present volume includes the revised contributions by Eugenio
Menegon and Erik Zurcher and a reworked version of an article by
Liam Brockey as well as the edition of the primary source he used
for his article, a confessional manual composed by Jose Monteiro
S.J. (1646-1720). These articles portray from different angles one
of the sacramental rituals, viz. that of confession.
