Taiping Theology written by Carl S. Kilcourse and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-09-26 with Religion categories.
This book examines the theological worldview of the Taiping Rebellion (1850–64), a Chinese revolutionary movement whose leader, Hong Xiuquan (1814–64), claimed to be the second son of God and younger brother of Jesus. Despite the profound impact of Christian books on Hong’s religious thinking, previous scholarship has neglected the localized form of Christianity that he and his closest followers created. Filling that gap in the existing literature, this book analyzes the localization of Christianity in the theology, ethics, and ritual practices of the Taipings. Carl S. Kilcourse not only reveals how Confucianism and popular religion acted as instruments of localization, but also suggests that several key aspects of the Taipings’ localized religion were inspired by terms and themes from translated Christian texts. Emphasizing this link between vernacularization and localization, Kilcourse demonstrates both the religious identity of the Taipings and their wider significance in the history of world Christianity.

Too little attention has been paid to the overseas officials of Britain's imperial era. This book tells the story of one such body, the China consular service. The author is uniquely qualified to write the story. As a young man he was himself a consular officer in China, learned to speak and read Chinese with unusual fluency, and was on active service with a Chinese division during the Allied defeat in Burma in 1942. In retirement he has spent years inmeticulous research among the archives. Writing in a lively style, with an eye for a good story, he paints the service warts and all and brings back to life some outstanding men, some failures, and some black sheep. He shows what abnormal lives officers in the China service led. Their careers were spent in exile in an alien and far-off country. They had to protect law-abiding British from the Chinese and to protect the Chinese from British crooks and ruffians. They dealt interminably with Chinese officials whoinitially regarded Westerners as crude barbarians and who were resentful of Western imperialism. They encountered riots and civil wars, whilst home leaves were infrequent and costly, and separations from wives and children disrupted family life. These strains were too much for very many officers. In writing this book the author had the general reader primarily in mind, but it is not likely to be superseded as a work of reference for academic specialists in this period of Chinese history, and the administrative historian will find novel information about methods of recruitment into theservice and about Foreign Office adminstration. It sets a new standard for studies of this type.
