A History of Christianity in Asia II

Overview

A wonderful addition to any library of historical works...will expand the understanding of 'the Church' as truly universal, transhistorical and multi-cultural, and never again to be reduced to or confused with the Church of Christendom. This book is a gift to us all. --Anthony J. Gittins 

Like the first volume, this edition makes available immense research in a readable and engaging narrative. The four centuries treated here are years of great missionary outreach and ambiguous results. Moffetts eye brings into dramatic relief events that illustrate both the broad patterns and the vital details of the spread of Christianity on a continent with more and deeper cultural differences than any other.

Samuel Hugh Moffett (1916-2015) was Henry Luce Professor Emeritus of Ecumenics and Mission at Princeton Theological Seminary. Born in Korea, Professor Moffett worked in China from 1947 to 1951 and in Korea from 1951 to 1981. He is the author of A History of Christianity in Asia Volume I: Beginnings to 1500.
