THE REFORMED CHURCH IN CHINA 1842-1951. By Gerald F. DeJong. The Hist. Series of the Ref.Church in America No. 22. 398pp. 5½x8½. 1992. Soft cover. #1881 $24.95
The Reformed Church in America organized its first congregation in what is now New York City in 1628. Two centuries later the church, caught up in the great Protestant missionary movement, began to open missions abroad. The first was Borneo in 1836, followed by China in 1842, India in 1853 and Japan in 1859.
This is the complete story of the mission in China from establishment in 1842 to its closing in 1951, as the Korea War heated up and the Chinese Communists became less willing to deal with the West.
A fascinating story, whether viewed as ethnic, religious, or emigration studies.
