Journey to the East
Liam Matthew Brockey
One of the great encounters of world history took place in 1579 when highly educated European priests confronted Chinese culture for the first time. This "journey to the East" is explored by Brockey as he retraces the path of the Jesuit missionaries from Portugal to China. Moving beyond the image of these Jesuits as cultural emissaries, his book shows how they translated Roman Catholicism into the Chinese cultural frame and eventually claimed two hundred thousand converts.
