Welcome to Global China Center
Darkest before the Dawn is a major contribution to the study of Christianity in China and a significant academic treatment to this vastly important subject as the author uses secular and Christian history, personal notes, questions, and interactions with students to crate a very readable guide.
This volume supplies essential information about China’s registered churches by someone who served as a missionary among them for a dozen years.
I would highly recommend this book as an initial text on the history of Christian missions in China, an introduction to longer and more comprehensive works. As such, it is almost a “must read” for all those interested in how God used frail and faulty human instruments to establish what has been called “the Chinese church that will not die.”
Every once in a while, you come across a book that you think every thoughtful Christian, and all Christian leaders, should read. Sorrow and Blood may be one of those books.
Dana Robert has given us a slim volume that tells the thrilling story of the spread of Christianity from its beginnings as a tiny minority in Palestine to today, when, as the “largest religion in the world,” “[t]he geographic range, cultural diversity, and organizational variety of Christianity surpass those of the other great world religions.”
Understanding Christian Mission will probably serve as a standard textbook for a long time. We all owe Scott Sunquist a debt of gratitude for what was obviously a labor of love.
