Blog Entries in ChinaSource Summer School

In the summer of 2023, we plundered the ChinaSource archives to come up with reading lists on several topics, rather like a summer school syllabus. Our readers can get to know the Chinese people, their culture, and their history with Christianity by jumping into the treasure trove of stories, analysis, and history contained in each post.

Designed to be of interest to beginners, people with lots of China experience, and everyone in between, we hope readers will find lots to think and pray over, whether it’s summer or any other season of the year.
