Neuware - 'Western Money and the Chinese Church; An Attempt to Find a Modern Approach to an Old Practice' is a critical examination of the financial and administrative relationship between Western missionary organizations and the developing indigenous church in early 20th-century China. Written by Frank Joseph Rawlinson, a prominent missionary and editor, the work addresses the complex challenges of financial dependency and the strive for self-governance within Chinese Christian communities.The text explores the historical practices of funding missions and proposes a more contemporary, sustainable approach that fosters independence and local leadership. Rawlinson provides deep insights into the sociological and ecclesiastical tensions of the era, arguing for a transition from foreign paternalism to a partnership based on equality. This volume serves as an essential historical document for understanding the evolution of global Christianity and the specific hurdles faced during the indigenization of the church in East Asia. It remains a significant study for those interested in missiology, colonial-era religious dynamics, and the history of modern China.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
