A History of Christianity in Asia makes available immense amounts of research on the religious pluralism of Asia and how Christianity spread long before the modern missionary movement went forth under the shelter of Western military might. Invaluable for historians of Asia and scholars of mission it is stimulation for all readers interested in Christian History.

Through this classic work, Samuel H. Moffett offers the reader a winsome narrative on a subject still considered far-off and fable alike to most in the West. With both attention to detail and a passion for his subject, Moffett opens new doors for understanding the development, conflicts, and surprises of Christian history in Asia. The publication of these volumes, more than any other single work, reveals that Christianity is one of the “great religions of Asia” says Scott W. Sunquist, co-author, History of the World Christian Movement.
