Synopsis
Excerpt from In Quest of God: The Life Story of Pastors Chang and Ch'ü, Buddhist Priest and Chinese Scholar
Mrs. Howard Taylor's widely read Life of Pastor H S'i and Miss Cable's graphic story, The Fulfilment of a Dream, dealing with other areas Of the same province, it has seemed best not to proceed with the larger scheme but limit this book to the area west of the Fen River, where Pastors Chang and Ch'ii lived and laboured.
Although the writer is familiar with the district and the leading characters referred to, it would have been impossible to have written these pages without much detailed information generously placed at his disposal by Mr. Albert Lutley, who possesses an unequalled acquaintance with the persons and places referred to. For many Of the personal details in the lives of Pastor Chang and Pastor Ch'u the writer is also indebted to his sister, Mrs. Gilbert Ritchie, who, during her residence at Taning, had taken down the story of their early days from their own lips. These valuable auto biographical notes were in the possession of Mrs. Howard Taylor, and were very kindly handed by her to the writer, together with the ground-plan of the Buddhist Temple at Mulberry Crag originally drawn by Mr. W. G. Peat, who was murdered in that neighbourhood in 1900.

In Quest of God: The Life Story of Pastors Chang and Châü (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of two men, Chang and Chii, who lived in a remote village in China in the 19th century. Chang, a Buddhist priest, and Chii, a Confucian scholar, found themselves questioning the beliefs they had always known. Deeply affected by the suffering they witnessed during a devastating famine, they sought solace in the teachings of Jesus Christ through the Gospels, which they had stumbled upon. Their journey of faith is set against the backdrop of early Christian missions in China, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of spreading the Gospel in a foreign land. The author draws parallels between the experiences of Chang and Chii and the early Christian converts, highlighting the universal human search for meaning and connection with the divine. The book explores themes of doubt, faith, and the transformative power of belief. Chang and Chiiâs transformation serves as a reminder of the profound impact that encountering new ideas and perspectives can have on our lives. This book not only tells an inspiring tale of personal growth but also delves into the deeper questions of religious experience, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in the complexities of faith and spirituality.
