Abstract

The religions of China and the works of Protestantism have been written by many scholars both American and European but most of them were incomplete in mind or written with a special interest of a certain denomination. The aim of this thesis is to present (1) the religious conditions of China before the entrance of Protestantism (2) the historical facts of Protestantism and (3) the present condition of the Chinese Christianity. Special attention will be given to the beginning, the growth, the persecution and some characteristic facts of Protestantism. The materials are almost all mined out of the Chinese records but they have been carefully compared with English writings. It is written without the idea of criticism or the feeling of prejudice. Some critical facts in it are taken from English books.
