In Christianity and Education in Modern China, Wong Man Kong, George Kam Wah Mak, and other contributors demonstrate how Christianity served as a driving force in the development of modern education in China. Each of the chapters offers new insights into Christian involvement in different issues concerning education in modern China. The contributors examine how Christian missionaries and Chinese Christian educators interacted with China’s social, cultural, and political contexts. Also explored are the Christian legacies of higher education in mainland China and Taiwan, as well as how the spirit of Christian higher education in modern China has been carried on in Asia. This volume suggests that Western missionary and Chinese Christian perspectives of higher education were complementary with each other in modern China.

“Timely and informative, Christianity and Education in Modern China tells the stories of less-known Christian educators, development experts, and researchers who indigenized global knowledge and skills to address Chinese problems. Its masterful narratives and analytical details highlight the transformative influence of Christianity on Chinese educational sphere.”
