520 |a During the 19th century, Chinese Christian novels were written by Western missionaries and Chinese Christians, drawing on traditional Chinese literary forms. James Legge’s Life of Joseph (1852) is based on the biblical narrative, with the Hebrew patriarchs presented as Confucian sages. William C.

With wide appeal, novels like these offered a Chinese cultural supplement to the Bible in the work of missionaries and Chinese Christians.
