Memories of Faith: The 'Christian sutras' of late imperial China

Laamann, Lars

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the degree of inculturation manifesting itself in Christian writings of the eighteenth century. The contribution also highlights the preservation of Christian identity by means of fractured and incorrectly copied writings, during a period when no foreign missionaries were allowed in China.
