China's Millions, 1884 (1896)
Description:... China's Millions is a book written by J. Hudson Taylor in 1884, which was later published in 1896. The book provides a detailed account of Taylor's mission work in China during the late 19th century. Taylor was a British Protestant Christian missionary who founded the China Inland Mission, which aimed to bring Christianity to the Chinese people. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Taylor's personal experiences in China, including his struggles with language and culture, his interactions with the Chinese people, and his efforts to establish Christian communities in various parts of the country. The second part of the book provides statistical data on the progress of the mission, including the number of converts, the number of missionaries, and the amount of money raised for the mission.Throughout the book, Taylor emphasizes the importance of adapting to Chinese culture and customs in order to effectively spread the Christian message. He also highlights the challenges faced by missionaries in a country that was largely closed off to foreign influence at the time. Despite these challenges, Taylor remained committed to his mission and worked tirelessly to establish a strong Christian presence in China.Overall, China's Millions is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the life and work of one of the most important Christian missionaries of the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in China or the history of Christian missions more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
