China is poised to play a definitive role in the third millennium. This comprehensive history traces the roots for China's key international position today in the nineteenth century, looking at the parallel influences of Chinese and Western secular history, trade and diplomacy, including the Opium Wars, as well as the effects of Bible translation and the dissemination of the Scriptures in Chinese under the auspices of the United Bible Societies. Catholic and Protestant missions too played a significant role, and the author focuses particularly on the legacy of the men and women around the central figure of Hudson Taylor who faced the challenge of the evangelization of China with such daring and devotion.
