Summary: | This is more than a historical analysis of nineteenth century missions to China. Professor Covell probes the writings of some of the key missionary figures who involved themselves with two historical phenomena — the Taiping Rebellion and the negotiation of tolerance clauses in the unequal treaties — and shows how they struggled, or failed to struggle, with underlying questions of ethics, philosophy of history and church/state relations. In pointing up the trends to casuistry that surfaced during this period, the author raises a warning about similar trends in our own day. |
