CHRISTIAN MISSION AND EDUCATION IN MODERN CHINA...

This volume is a collection of historical essays  describing and analyzing the link between
Christian mission and education in modern China  Japan  and Korea. The authors come from China
Japan  Korea  Canada  the United States of America  and the Netherlands. The twelve essays are
a selection from the papers given at the Sixth International Conference of the North East Asia
Council of Studies of History of Christianity (NEACSHC)  held in Seoul in 2007. The nine
appendices of the volume offer basic information on both the previous conferences of this
council and its constitution. After three Western essays  mainly dealing with the impact of
Western educational mission on Asia and the secularization of Christian higher education  the
volume offers four essays on China  two essays on Japan  and three essays on Korea. These Asian
contributions do not only deal with pre-World War Two developments  but also with current
affairs: they discuss the moral superiority feelings in mission schools before the war  the
link between Christian and nationalistic education during the war  and the new crises  new
challenges  new relations  and new perspectives after the war. In modern Japan and Korea women
play a key role. In modern China there is a move from 'cultural imperialism' to 'cultural
exchange'  which opens up entirely new horizons and prospects for Christian higher education.
