This book features a collection of essays on China's modern
Catholic Church by a scholar of China-West intellectual and
religious exchange. The essays and reflections were mostly written
in China while the author was traveling by train, or staying in
villages or large cities near to Roman Catholic cathedrals or other
important historical sites during research trips to the country. It
is clear that Clark's understanding of Catholicism in China evolved
from the first entry to the final ones in 2019. The essays included
in this compendium were written in disparate contexts and in
response to different events. As such, there is no obvious theme or
order to the content. However, despite this, the book provides
valuable insights for readers wishing to gain a better
understanding of the complex topography of Catholic history in
China, the contours of which have undergone stark transformations
with each dynastic, political, and ecclesial transition. The
information presented serves to highlight and explain the lives of
Catholic people and the events that have punctuated one of the most
significant dimensions of China's long history of friendship,
conflict and exchange with the West.
