''Christianity In China: A Fragment'' is a historical account of the Christian missions to China in the mid-19th century. Written by Thomas William Marshall in 1858, the book provides a detailed description of the efforts made by various Christian denominations to spread their faith in China during a time when the country was undergoing significant political and social changes. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the arrival of Catholic and Protestant missionaries in China, their interactions with the Chinese people, the challenges they faced in establishing churches and converting locals, and the impact of the Taiping Rebellion on the Christian missions. Marshall also provides insights into the Chinese culture, customs, and beliefs, and how they influenced the reception of Christianity in the country.Overall, ''Christianity In China: A Fragment'' offers a valuable historical perspective on the early Christian missions to China and sheds light on the complex relationship between Western religion and Chinese society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
