History of Christianity in China
Undoubtedly, Buddhism has been the most popular religion in China. The evolution of religions in China, however, being influenced by Ancestor Worship, Taoism and Confucianism was quite complicated. Since Buddhism in China is well addressed and documented on the internet, it is our intention to focus on another religion in China, namely, Christianity. Christianity was introduced into China as early as the 5th century. The first three early missionaries failed to bear fruits. The Fourth attempt which began in 1806 and ended around 1956, had moderate success, but it helped to spark the Anti-Christian Movement in the 1920's. Since the Communist took power in 1949, Christianity have been growing steadily against the oppressions of the government. Nowadays, there are about 30,000,000 Christians in China (according to an unofficial survey). God Bless China!
