Chinese Christian women before the New Culture Movement and the May 4th Movement of 1919 have been largely invisible in the records of China missions and Chinese Christianity. We have known little about them either as individuals or as a group. The contributors of this volume have scoured a variety of sources to recreate the role of early Chinese women Christians in the life of the church and in Chinese society and to illustrate how gender affected their understanding of Christianity and their career choices. How did the Chinese context alter their relations with the church and with Christian and non-Christian communities? What was the legacy of pioneer Chinese Christian women? Essays on Chinese Christian educators, doctors, nurses, and evangelists show how the missionaries and the church made mobility and broadened horizons possible for women. They reveal also the contributions of these women and homemakers to a changing China.

In Sacred Webs, historian Chris White demonstrates how Chinese Protestants in Minnan, or the southern half of Fujian Province, fractured social ties and constructed and utilized new networks through churches, which served as nodes linking individuals into larger Protestant communities. Through analyzing missionary archives, local church reports, and available Chinese records, Sacred Webs depicts Christianity as a Chinese religion and Minnan Protestants as laying claim to both a Christian faith and a Chinese cultural heritage.

Believers' lived experiences provide grassroots perspective on developments in China's modern history, including transnational exchange, gender roles, models for legitimate governance, clandestine culture, and church-state relations"--

Missionary Journeys tells the story of my parents, missionaries in China, through the lens of their extensive China correspondence, in the 1930s and 40s. They were carrying out mission work in northeastern Hakka region of Guangdong, Kwangtung at the time, their lives threatened by Kuo Ming Tang army elements and by Japanese army detachments and airplane bombings. After WW2, the Chinese communist victory forced my parents and us children to return to Europe where my father became a parish minister in a French-Alsatian suburb of Basel, Switzerland. Besides his traditional responsibilities, father focused on disadvantaged youth, migrants, and on reconciliation with German parish across the Rhine, while mother took over the upkeep of the church and presbytery. A call from the Chinese parish in Tahiti found father spending the last eleven months of his life organizing and providing guidance to the parish, leaving behind an abundant correspondence. To let my siblings and myself finish our studies, Mother managed in northern Alsace a center for adults with special needs before retiring and passing away in Bern-Mittelland, Switzerland. Not enough has been written about this war period of the Basel Mission (Swiss Christian Missionary Society) missionaries in China. These Journeys fill a gap about the China episode, the Alsatian ministries, and the Tahiti Hakka theological conflict. Divinity students, students of theology, history, anthropology, social sciences, and those interested in mission work in the world and protestant missiology will gain an invigorating insight into missionary life.

Christian Women and Modern China presents a social history of women pioneers in Chinese Protestantism from the 1880s to the 2010s. The author interrupts a hegemonic framework of historical narratives by exploring formal institutions and rules as well as social networks and social norms that shape the lived experiences of women. This book achieves a more nuanced understanding about the interplays of Christianity, gender, power and modern Chinese history. It reintroduces Chinese Christian women pioneers not only to women’s history and the history of Chinese Christianity, but also to the history of global Christian mission and the global history of many modern professions, such as medicine, education, literature, music, charity, journalism, and literature.

This groundbreaking work provides an original and deeply knowledgeable overview of Chinese women and gender relations during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912). Bret Hinsch explores in detail the central aspects of female life in this era, including family and marriage, motherhood, political power, work, inheritance, education, religious roles, and ethics. He considers not only women’s experiences but also their emotional lives and the ideals they pursued. Drawing on a wide range of Western, Japanese, and Chinese primary and secondary sources—including standard histories, poetry, prose literature, and epitaphs—Hinsch makes an important period of Chinese women’s history accessible to Western readers.
