Abstract:
Annotation, Sent alone to China by the London Missionary Society in 1807, Robert Morrison was one of the earliest Protestant missionaries in East Asia. During some 27 years in China, Macau and Malacca, he worked as a translator for the East India Company: he translated the New Testament into Chinese and compiled the first Chinese-English dictionary. At the same time he was also building the foundation of Chinese Protestant Christianity. This book critically explores the preparations and strategies behind this first Protestant mission to China
