In the summer of 2023, we plundered the ChinaSource archives to come up with reading lists on several topics, rather like a summer school syllabus. Our readers can get to know the Chinese people, their culture, and their history with Christianity by jumping into the treasure trove of stories, analysis, and history contained in each post.
Designed to be of interest to beginners, people with lots of China experience, and everyone in between, we hope readers will find lots to think and pray over, whether it’s summer or any other season of the year.
For the fifth and last session of summer school, we’re following Chinese cross-cultural workers as they seek to fulfill the great commission. We’re also sitting at the feet of several missiologists as they discuss and debate the challenges facing the Chinese church as it sends its people out.
Chinese Christians have been active in evangelizing their neighbors and fellow citizens, including ethnic minorities, for decades. In this fourth session of ChinaSource Summer School, we have rounded up a collection of articles, including case studies, theological meditations, and missiological analysis.
God works through the lives of individual believers to spread the gospel and fulfill the great commission. In this post, we have rounded up several posts that look at multiple important missionaries from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Take a walk through the past and learn about different missionary efforts in China, from the Nestorians to Matteo Ricci to missionaries like Robert Morrison and Hudson Taylor.
Chinese culture is a rich and complex topic, and we’ve created a reading (and listening!) list from our archives for you to immerse yourself in this subject.
