Excerpt from Memorials of Protestant Missionaries to the Chinese: Giving a List of Their Publications, and Obituary Notices of the Deceased, With Copious Indexes The commencement of the Protestant Mission to China was closely connected with a scheme for translating the Scriptures into the native language; a work to which the pioneers devoted much time and attention. Their successors in like manner, have kept this before them as an object of first importance; and the continuous application thus bestowed from the beginning, on this branch of the enterprise, has been productive of results gratifying to every friend of the cause. The incipient labours of Morrison, Marshman and Milne, brought to completion the two first entire translations of the Bible, which appear to have issued from the press simultaneously about the year 1822. No great period was allowed to elapse till this was followed up by revision and amendment, a work which had been contemplated by the first translators, even before their own productions had been given to the public. The combined efforts of Drs. Medhurst, Gutzlaff and Bridgman, in concert with the son of Dr. Morrison, led to the respective versions of the two first-named missionaries. Subsequent to this, the new translation of the New Testament by the Committee of Delegates, issued in 1850, and the Old Testament by the members of the London Mission, some two or three years later, were followed up by a revision of the whole, at the hands of Dr. Bridgman and Mr. Culbertson. Another version of the New Testament had been carried on at the same time, by the Rev. J. Goddard, the agent of the Baptist churches in America; and his work has been for the most part used by the members of that denomination. A complete translation of the New Testament into the Mandarin dialect, chiefly by Dr. Medhurst, has been widely circulated; and a second translation by the resident missionaries at Peking is well on to completion. Translations of the whole New Testament have been made into the local dialects of Ningpo and Fuhchow, and detached portions of the Old and New Testaments have appeared in the Shanghae, Canton, Hakka, Amoy and Kin-hwa dialects.

With a focus on Robert Morrison, Protestant Missionaries in China evaluates the role of nineteenth-century British missionaries in the early development of the cross-cultural relationship between China and the English-speaking world. As one of the first generation of British Protestant missionaries, Robert Morrison went to China in 1807 with the goal of evangelizing the country. His mission pushed him into deeper engagement with Chinese language and culture, and the exchange flowed both ways as Morrison—a working-class man whose firsthand experiences made him an “accidental expert”—brought depictions of China back to eager British audiences. Author Jonathan A. Seitz proposes that, despite the limitations imposed by the orientalism impulse of the era, Morrison and his fellow missionaries were instrumental in creating a new map of cross-cultural engagement that would evolve, ultimately, into modern sinology. Engaging and well researched, Protestant Missionaries in China explores the impact of Morrison and his contemporaries on early sinology, mission work, and Chinese Christianity during the three decades before the start of the Opium Wars.

Western evangelists have long been fascinated by China, a vast mission field with a unique language and culture. One of the most intrigued was also one of the most intriguing: Karl F. A. Gützlaff (1803-1851). In this erudite study Jessie Gregory Lutz chronicles Gützlaff's life from his youth in Germany to his conversion and subsequent turn to missions to his turbulent time in Asia. Lutz also includes a substantial bibliography consisting of (1) archival sources, (2) selected books, pamphlets, tracts, and translations by Gützlaff, and (3) books, periodicals, and articles. This is truly an important reference for any student of the history of China or missions.
