Banner-carrying Salvation Army marchers, stone-silent Quakers,
jumpy Midwestern revivalists, closed-fellowship Brethren, and
Prayer-book Anglicans all made up the mixed multitude sent to the
Middle Kingdom by the China Inland Mission (CIM).
In "China's Millions," the newest volume of the acclaimed
Studies in the History of Christian Missions series, veteran
historian Alvyn Austin crafts a compelling narrative of the
sprawling history of the China Inland Mission. Austin explores two
questions: How did British evangelicalism feed into American
fundamentalism, eventually becoming global Protestantism, and how
did evangelical Christianity become Chinese? Along the way he
introduces readers to a remarkable array of sights, from the
visionary, charismatic sect-leader Pastor Hsi, to the "wordless
book," a missionary teaching device that fit perfectly with Chinese
color cosmology, to the opium-soaked aftermath of the North China
Famine of 187779.
Clear, readable, and well researched, "China's Millions" digs
deeply into the Chinese and Western past to tell a story that no
one would think to tell, the strange yet hopeful result of two
cultures colliding.
