China's Millions : The China Inland Mission and Late Qing Society, 1832-1905 (Studies in the History of Christian Missions)

Presents the sprawling history of the China Inland Mission. This book introduces readers to an array of sights, from the visionary, charismatic sect-leader Pastor Hsi, to the "wordless book," a missionary teaching device that fit perfectly with Chinese color cosmology, to the opium-soaked aftermath of the North China Famine of 1877-79.
