Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in China: A Fragment The writer desires to explain, that the following pages form only the first chapter of a work in which it is proposed to compare, by a similar method, the results of Catholic and Protestant Missions, not in China alone, but in all parts of the world. As a few months may elapse before the whole mass of evidence collected with this object, and scattered through many volumes, can be finally classified and arranged, - and as special interest attaches at this moment to China, and to the progress of religion in that empire, - it has been suggested by competent authority that this chapter should be printed at once, in a separate form. This is the only explanation which the writer has to offer of so unusual a proceeding. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in China, Tartary and Thibet, Vol. 3 The preachers of the gospel in China were perfectly in the right when they left the various competitors for the Imperial power to settle the dispute among them selves, and they would have been still more praise worthy if they had, during that period, maintained a Spirit of peace and harmony in their own missions, if they had not thrown themselves with quite so much eagerness into controversies, which might be unavoid able, but which it was at all events desirable to carry on with more calmness, gentleness, and Christian simplicity of heart. We have already said, that from the very commence ment of the missions of the Society of Jesus in China, there had arisen among them differences of Opinion, in which had originated two schools -that Of Father Ricci, who was disposed to allow the widest toleration to the rites Of the Chinese; and that of Father Longobardi, who saw nothing but superstition in the worship paid by them to Heaven, to Confucius, and their ancestors; and was therefore disposed to the rigorous interdic tion of all such ceremonies. AS early as 1628, the most experienced missionaries had met to endeavour to come to an understanding on this difficult and important question; but. Though the conference lasted a whole month, no reconciliation of the differences was effected. This deplorable division became known, not only throughout China, but even in Europe, and awakened the attention and inflamed the zeal of other religious orders in the cause of the propagation of the faith. Their arrival in the Celestial Empire, however. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cross and the Dragon or the Fortunes of Christianity in China: With Notices of the Christian Missions and Missionaries, and Some Account of the Chinese Secret Societies In saying this much, the writer is far from wishing to depreciate the value of Christian missions in China, or to discourage their sup porters. It will be found that he has done full justice to the valiant and honourable men, both Catholic and Protestant, who have gone forth as labourers in this vineyard. But too much imme diate gain must not be expected from their labours. Ripe clusters must not be expected where the buds have scarcely made their appearance. The works of Deity are of slow growth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in China, Tartary and Thibet, Vol. 2 of 2 The people, before whose eyes the light of the Gospel had shone for a moment in all its brilliancy, soon relapsed into darkness, and wandered far from the path which leads to God, that is, to truth and life. It must be acknowledged, however, that the constant efforts of the Church to convert and civilise the Pagan nations produced results which have been perhaps too little noticed. The labours of the missionaries contributed greatly to the prodigious development of European civilisa tion, and they left in the extreme East curious recollections of the Catholic preaching.

Download or read book A Mission in China (Classic Reprint) written by W. E. Soothill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Mission in China This book is written chiefly for those who, through many years, have loyally lent their support to the work recorded in the following pages, and whose right it is to know more fully that their faith has been met with faithfulness. It was commenced eighteen months ago in response to repeated requests, and with numerous and prolonged periods of interruption, its compilation has occupied the spare moments of that length of time. Herein are recounted some of the experiences met with, and methods followed during nearly a quarter of a century's work amongst the Chinese, a work that has been rewarded by nearly ten thousand conversions, and an increasing confidence in the universal advent of the Kingdom of God. Its principal object is to depict our own Mission, as typical of many others. In addition five chapters will be found at the end, giving in brief an account of the Chinese religions, religions 36 involved and mutually intermingled that close investigation and considerable reading have been necessary to anything like a clear and succinct delineation. The whole closes with a short history of Christianity in China. It is the misfortune of a book of this character that great demands are made on the first personal pronoun. If the reader finds that letter too oft repeated, his sympathy is craved in consideration of the number of times it has been suppressed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From China WE have just reached the close of the first hundred years of Protestant missions in China, and I wish to call attention to the contrast between the present and the past. If we compare the state of things to-day with the state of things existing in China in Dr. Morrison's day, we shall be able to some extent to realise how great is the work which has been wrought of God during this period in that great empire. We may also notice that the progress of Christian missions in China is but typical of the advance that has been made throughout the world in the same period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and the Gospel The climate of the country is a matter of much interest. The varieties Of temperature are of course great, from the extreme south to the far distant north. In the former the hot weather lasts for a number of months, at times to an intense degree, while in the central and northern portions of the empire there are only two months of a really hot season, namely, July and August; the remainder of the year is pleasant and agreeable. During the winter, in the latter parts, the air is dry and bracing, and the residents readily gain strength again after the relaxing time of summer. The general salubrity of China is unquestioned by those who have had long experience of it, always allowing of course for the effects of change and other circumstances connected with a new and untried climate.

Were this division confined to Christendom the evil would still be sufficiently serious but when it is carried into the presence of the non-christian world, the harm becomes vastly augmented. For the heathen - by which term non-christians are usually described - not unnaturally asks Why should we adopt Christianity when its very teachers cannot agree among themselves as to wherein precisely it consists?

Book Synopsis A Voluntary Exile by : Anthony E. Clark
Download or read book A Voluntary Exile written by Anthony E. Clark and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western missionaries in China were challenged by something they could not have encountered in their native culture; most Westerners were Christian, and competitions in their own countries were principally denominational. Once they entered China they unwittingly became spiritual merchants who marketed Christianity as only one religion among the long-established purveyors of other religions, such as the masters of Buddhist and Daoist rites. A Voluntary Exile explores the convergence of cultures. This collection of new and insightful research considers themes of religious encounter and accommodation in China from 1552 to the present, and confronts how both Western Europeans and indigenous Chinese mitigated the cultural and religious antagonisms that resulted from cultural misunderstanding. The studies in this work identify areas where missionary accommodation in China has succeeded and failed, and offers new insights into what contributed to cultural conflict and confluence. Each essay responds in some way to the “accommodationist” approach of Western missionaries and Christianity, focusing on new areas of inquiry. For example, Michael Maher, SJ, considers the educational and religious formation of Matteo Ricci prior to his travels to China, and how Ricci’s intellectual approach was connected to his so-called “accommodationist method” during the late Ming. Eric Cunningham explores the hackneyed assertion that Francis Xavier’s mission to Asia was a “failure” due to his low conversion rates, suggesting that Xavier’s “failure” instigated the entire Chinese missionary enterprise of the 16th and 17th centuries. And, Liu Anrong confronts the hybridization of popular Chinese folk religion with Catholicism in Shanxi province. The voices in this work derive from divergent scholarly methodologies based on new research, and provide the reader a unique encounter with a variety of disciplinary views. This unique volume reaches across oceans, cultures, political systems, and religious traditions to provide important new research on the complexities of cultural encounters between China and the West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Missions in China It would be of great interest to study China as an inter preter of the two extinct civilizations.2 Other inquiries, however, press for an answer: What has preserved this nation through the centuries? Thoughtful men agree that she can no longer endure as she is. What changes must she undergo to make her possible to the present world? The answer to both questions seems to be the same. China has faced the past. She has worshiped the ancestors. This mental attitude, forbidding all change, has saved the nation from division, but now while she holds this attitude, modern civilization has no power over her. A change in national characteristics is prerequisite to her progress, even before foreign telegraphs and ma chinery.
