Christ or Confucius, Which? Or The Story of the Amoy Mission is a historical book written by John Macgowan in 1889. The book is about the Amoy Mission, which was a Christian missionary movement that took place in China during the late 19th century. Macgowan, who was a missionary himself, provides a detailed account of the mission and its efforts to spread Christianity in China, which was then dominated by Confucianism. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the Amoy Mission. Macgowan starts by introducing the reader to the history and culture of China, and then goes on to describe the challenges faced by the missionaries in their attempts to convert the Chinese people to Christianity. He also discusses the various methods used by the missionaries to spread their message, including preaching, teaching, and establishing schools and hospitals.Throughout the book, Macgowan compares and contrasts Christianity with Confucianism, which was the dominant religion in China at the time. He argues that Christianity offers a more complete and fulfilling way of life than Confucianism, which he sees as outdated and limited. He also discusses the ways in which Christianity can be adapted to fit the Chinese culture and mentality, and how it can be used to bring about positive social and political change.Overall, Christ or Confucius, Which? Or The Story of the Amoy Mission is a fascinating historical account of a significant moment in the history of Christianity and China. It offers valuable insights into the challenges faced by missionaries in their attempts to spread their faith, and provides a thought-provoking analysis of the differences between Christianity and Confucianism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
