Book Overview

""The Land of Sinim: Or China and Chinese Missions"" is a comprehensive account of the history, culture, and religion of China, as well as the Christian missionary movement in the country. Written by William Gillespie, a Scottish Presbyterian missionary who spent over 30 years in China, the book provides a detailed analysis of the Chinese people and their customs, beliefs, and practices. It also explores the challenges and successes of Christian evangelism in China, including the impact of Western imperialism and the resistance of traditional Chinese culture.
