520 |a Recently, missions historians have begun to approach their subject with new questions, asking how the host culture affected missionaries and how missionaries transmitted their understanding of culture to their home countries. These questions are especially fruitful ones for investigating the life of Presbyterian missionary to China John Livingston Nevius (1829—1893). Historians and missionaries most frequently remember Nevius for his innovative church-planting methods. However, in addition to his church-planting manual, Nevius also published a volume on Chinese culture, China and the Chinese, that underwent wide circulation in the United States. Nevius's life and work confirms the recent missions historiography, but it challenges the notion that cultural liberality went hand in hand with theological liberalism in the nineteenth century.
