In short, it is a story of ordinary people with all their good qualities and all their shortcomings." In all of its complexity, Kathleen L. Lodwick tells the story of Christianity in China. It's essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the contemporary phenomena that is Christianity in China, which some people predict soon will be the country with the largest Christian population in the world. 410 0$aUnderstanding world Christianity. 606 $aChristianity$zChina 606 $aMissions$zChina 607 $aChina$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aMissions 676 $a266.00951 700 $aLodwick$b Kathleen L.$0869888 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150180403321 996 $aHow Christianity Came to China$92993013 997 $aUNINA
