Opening China: Karl F. A. Gutzlaff and Sino-Western Relations, 1827-1852

Western evangelists have long been fascinated by China, a vast mission field with a unique language and culture. One of the most intrigued was also one of the most intriguing: Karl F. A. G tzlaff (1803-1851). In this erudite study Jessie Gregory Lutz chronicles G tzlaff's life from his youth in Germany to his conversion and subsequent turn to missions to his turbulent time in Asia. Lutz also includes a substantial bibliography consisting of (1) archival sources, (2) selected books, pamphlets, tracts, and translations by G tzlaff, and (3) books, periodicals, and articles. This is truly an important reference for any student of the history of China or missions.
