This book studies the Chinese Catholic church in a time of persecution, focusing in particular on the role of Chinese clergy and lay leaders in maintaining communities of clandestine Catholics. D. E. Mungello portrays a world in flux, where the certainties of the past were beginning to give way to new insights.
Tracing the little-known history of the first underground Catholic church in China, Mungello illuminates the century between the imperial expulsion of missionaries in 1724 and their return with European colonialism in the 1800s. This time of persecution offered an opportunity for the Chinese, rather than Europeans, to control their own church.
