Brand: Harvard University, Asia Center
Description
In the 16th century, European missionaries brought a foreign religion to China. Converts transformed this religion into a local one. Focusing on the still-active Catholic communities of Fuan county in Fujian, this project’s implications extend to the fields of religious and social history and early modern history of global intercultural relations.
