Christianity and Education in Modern China

A close look at the effects of Christianity on contemporary Chinese education. In Christianity and Education in Modern China, the contributors demonstrate how Christianity served as a driving force in the development of modern education in China. Each essay offers new insights into Christian influence on education in modern China while examining how Christian missionaries and Chinese Christian educators interacted with China's social, cultural, and political contexts. They also explore how the legacies of Christian higher education affected higher education in mainland China, Taiwan, and Asia at large. On the whole, this volume compares the Western missionary and Chinese Christian perspectives with rich historiographical acumen by offering original case studies to examine Christianity's impact on education in modern China.
