From Christ to Confucius

A bold and original study of German missionaries in China, who catalyzed a revolution in thinking among European Christians about the nature of Christianity itself In this accessibly written and empirically based study, Albert Wu documents how German missionarieschastened by their failure to convert Chinese people to Christianityreconsidered their attitudes toward Chinese culture and Confucianism. In time, their increased openness catalyzed a revolution in thinking among European Christians about the nature of Christianity itself. At a moment when Europes Christian population is falling behind those of South America and Africa, Wus provocative analysis sheds light on the roots of Christianitys global shift.
