Summary

This classic work by David Macdonald Paton, who served for ten years as a missionary in China, raises a number of crucial issues that remain essential for our understanding of China, of Chinese Christianity, and of the church ecumenical. In a day that seems fixated solely on church growth numbers, this timely republication of Paton's 1953 work speaks more clearly than ever to the need for developing a missiology that focuses instead on the creation of self-sustaining indigenous churches. This new edition is edited by Paton's son. David M. M. Paton, who has also contributed a short biography of his father's influential life.
