Education of Christian Ministers in China
"Education of Christian Ministers in China" provides a comprehensive analysis of the development and implementation of theological training programs during a pivotal era in the history of the Chinese church. Written by Samuel H. Leger, this scholarly work investigates the academic and spiritual preparation required for local religious leaders in a cross-cultural context during the early 20th century.
The text delves into the curricular structures, pedagogical theories, and the practical challenges faced by educational institutions as they sought to integrate Western theological traditions with the unique cultural and social realities of China. Leger highlights the essential role of higher education in fostering a robust, self-governing Christian community, emphasizing the need for a ministry that is both intellectually grounded and culturally relevant. This book is a significant historical document for researchers of missiology, global Christianity, and Chinese educational history, offering a detailed window into the strategies used to build institutional religious foundations in a rapidly changing environment. It serves as an important resource for understanding the historical intersection of education and faith in East Asia.
