<br/><br/> The Liberating Gospel in China presents missiological case studies of eleven minority peoples who share a single land mass and their varied responses to the gospel. No comparable study of these ethnic groups is available.<br/>Eminent missiologist Ralph R. Covell provides little-known information about protestant and Roman Catholic attempts to reach China's minority cultures. The book's title refers to Covell's thesis that where the gospel has been accepted it has become a liberating force. But he also weighs reasons why some peoples accepted Christianity eagerly, while others violently refused it. The missiological principles illustrated make the book valuable for understanding East Asian Christian history and the nature of cross-cultural evangelism in general.
