Welcome to the New BDCC Website!
Welcome to the new Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Christianity Web site. If you have visited this site before, you will notice immediately that vast improvements that have been made by our webmaster, Global China Center Associate Jason Truell.
In particular, please try out the various new ways in which you may find stories. They now can be sorted by name, organizational affiliation, locale, time period, and author. This new layout will allow you to collect and organize materials in a variety of ways that will greatly enhance your understanding of the marvelous mosaic of Chinese Christian history.
We have added new stories, and plan to increase these constantly, as well as to expand and replace existing entries, so check the site often and subscribe to our Atom feeds for fresh information about the people who have helped to build today’s Chinese church.
Very soon, the Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Christianity will be bi-lingual, having both English and Chinese pages.
Furthermore, the Chinese stories will be in both simplified and traditional characters, depending upon your preference.
As one of the contributors to the English section, I should say that researching and writing these stories has been one of the most enjoyable activities in which I have ever engaged. What a privilege it is to spend one’s time in the company of such marvelous men and women!
May I also invite you to join us in this effort to share with others the mighty works of God among the Chinese? We need qualified researchers and writers to expand the range of the BDCC and make it an even richer repository of information about Chinese Christianity.
