Earthen Vessels and Transcendent Power. American Presbyterians in China, 1837-1952.
Maryknoll. Orbis. 1997. Stock ID #166312 "The book traces the influences of premillennial eschatology, the fundamentalist-modernist controversies, the rise of independent missions and conservative denominational boards, the role of World War II and America's rise to world power, the recent development of a distinctly evangelical theology of missions, and the growing influence of the Two-Thirds World's evangelical leaders. While this volume certainly does not contain the last word on these subjects, in a number of areas it does offer very nearly the first look." - Publisher's description.
