Salt and Light: Lives of Faith that Shaped Modern China ??????????????

Salt and Light presents the life stories of outstanding Chinese Christians who, as early modernizers, promoted China's nation building and moral progress in the early twentieth century. Lively anecdotes and photographs highlight the strong character of ten pioneers in the modern professions of education, medicine, journalism, and diplomacy.

These professionals were motivated by faith to introduce practical social reforms and build up China's civil society. They modeled and promoted virtues essential to social progress during the "golden age" of Chinese Protestantism. Their stories touch on themes important in today's global era: patterns of cooperation between foreign and Chinese partners, the contributions to China of Western-educated professionals, Christianity's role in furthering East-West understanding and exchanges, and the transnational nature of modern Chinese Christianity:

Rong Hong - Visionary for a New China
Tang Guo'an - Pioneering China's Rights Recovery Movement
Shi Meiyu - An "Army of Women" in Medicine
Fan Zimei - Between Tradition and Modernity
Ding Shujing - The YWCA Pathway for China's "New Women"
Mei Yiqi - University President in Wartime
Lin Qiaozi - The Steady Pulse of a Quiet Faith
Wei Zhuomin - Bridging National Culture and World Values
Wu Yifang - Abundant Life in Training Women for Service
Yan Yangchu - Reformer with a Heart for the Village

The editors and authors articulate the importance of recovering China's Christian heritage as part of world Christianity.
