Foreword by Robert Eric Frykenberg "I wanted to know more about
this fascinating, conflicted man. How could one be so arrogant,
insecure, linguistically talented, pious, and yet willing to assist
the opium trade; impatient with authority and yet able to hold an
office with the Hong Kong administration for a decade; an ardent
Protestant evangelist and yet willing to act as a scout for British
troops during the Opium War?"
- Jessie G. Lutz (from the preface)
Western evangelists have long been fascinated by China, a vast
mission field with a unique language and culture. One of the most
intrigued was also one of the most intriguing: Karl F. A. Gutzlaff.
In Opening China Jessie Lutz follows Gutzlaff from his youth in
Germany to his conversion and subsequent turn to missions to his
turbulent time in Asia. Lutz also includes a substantial
bibliography consisting of (1) archival sources, (2) selected
books, pamphlets, tracts, and translations by Gutzlaff, and (3)
books, periodicals, and articles. This is truly an important
reference for any student of the history of China or missions.
