Eugenio Menegon is Associate Professor of History at Boston University.
In the sixteenth century, European missionaries brought a foreign and global religion to China. Converts then transformed this new religion into a local one.
Focusing on the still-active Catholic communities of Fuan county in northeast Fujian, this project addresses three main questions. Why did people convert? Second, how did converts and missionaries transform a global and foreign religion into a local religion? Third, what does Christianity’s localization in Fuan tell us about the relationship between late imperial Chinese society and religion?
The study’s implications extend beyond the issue of Christianity in China to the wider fields of religious and social history and the early modern history of global intercultural relations. The book suggests that Christianity became part of a pre-existing pluralistic, local religious space. The author argues that we underestimate late imperial society’s tolerance for “heterodoxy.” The view from Fuan offers an original account of how a locality created its own religious culture in Ming-Qing China.

Examining Christianity in Futian, Fujian China: how it was imported, integreted, and transformed throught the three hundred years of regime changes, political unrests, and local tensions. Trying to contest the conventional understanding of Christianity in China as a unsecessful career by arguing its compatibility with Chinese society.
評分這書吸收瞭很多福建地方研究的知識,以及強調天主教的孝、貞、滌罪在中國傳統思想的框架裏都可以變形以得到本地化接受。
評分2011 Levenson prize winner; a fellow Manchu learner. Again the problem of narrative in and historical writing; in this case, I feel that the first 4 chapters (chronological order) could be consolidated into one, and make the second half of the book (topic by topic) more thoroughly historical.
