Global exploration in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries led to new interactions between Europe and Asia. Jesuit priests were instrumental in spreading knowledge of the world to China and information about China to Europe. China at the Center focuses on two masterpieces of seventeenth-century map-making - the 1602 world map by Matteo Ricci and the 1674 world map by Ferdinand Verbiest - that illustrate this exchange of information. Both maps tell fascinating stories about the way the world was conceived in their time. In China at the Center, these maps are examined as objects of cross-cultural collaboration between the fascinating men who were instrumental in their production and the scholars of the Chinese courts.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 1614 the shogunate prohibited Christianity amidst rumors of foreign plots to conquer Japan. But more than the fear of armed invasions, it was the ideological threat--or "spiritual conquest"--that the Edo shogunate feared the most. This book explores the encounter of Christianity and premodern Japan in the wider context of global and intellectual history. M. Antoni J. Ucerler examines how the Jesuit missionaries sought new ways to communicate their faith in anunfamiliar linguistic, cultural, and religious environment--and how they sought to "re-invent" Christianity in the context of samurai Japan. They developed an original "moral casuistry" or "cases ofconscience" adapted to the specific dilemmas faced by Japanese Christians.This volume situates the European missionary "enterprise" in East Asia within multiple geopolitical contexts: Both Ming China and "Warring States" Japan resisted the presence of foreigners and their beliefs. In Japan, where the Jesuits were facing persecution in the midst of civil war, they debated whether they could intervene in military conflicts to protect local communities. Others advocated forthe establishment of a "Christian republic" or civil protectorate. Based on little-known primary sources in various languages, The Samurai and the Cross explores the moral and political debates overreligion, law, and "reason of state" that took place on both the European and the Japanese side. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
