ISBN10: 0802829759, ISBN13: 9780802829757, [publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In China's Millions veteran historian Alvyn Austin presents a compelling historical narrative of the China Inland Mission (now the Overseas Missionary Fellowship) - the first history of the CIM by an outsider - including 36 nver-before-published illustrations and maps from the CIM/OMF archives. In the course of his sweeping survey, Austin examines a remarkable array of subjects, from the visionary, charismatic sect-leader Pastor Hsi, to the 'worldless book,' a missionary teaching device that fit perfectly with Chinese color cosmology, to the opium-soaked aftermath of the North China Famine of 1877-79.
