From 1807, when the first Protestant missionary arrived in China,
to the 1920s, when a new phase of growth began, thousands of
missionaries and Chinese Christians laboured, often under very
adverse conditions, to lay the groundwork for a solid, healthy, and
self-sustaining Chinese church. Following an Introduction that sets
the scene and surveys the entire period, 'Builders of the Chinese
Church' contains the stories of nine leading pioneers: seven
Western missionaries and two Chinese. Here we meet Robert Morrison,
the heroic translator; Liang Fa, the first Chinese evangelist;
missionary-scholar James Legge; J. Hudson Taylor, founder of the
China Inland Mission; converted opium addict Pastor Hsi, Overcomer
of Demons; Griffith John and Jonathan Goforth, both indefatigable
preachers; and the idealistic advocates of education and reform,
W.A.P. Martin and Timothy Richard. Readers will be inspired by
their courage, devotion, and sheer perseverance in arduous work,
and will gain a better understanding of the origins of the two
'branches' of today's Chinese Protestantism.
