The inculturation of Christianity in Late Imperial China, 1724-1840 : the emergence of a Chinese expression of Christianity during the 18th century, its perception by the Qing elite and the reaction of the state
The thesis argues that Christianity underwent a profound process of inculturation during the ~long eighteenth century~, which was caused by the absence of foreign missionaries after the edict of 1724 and by the fact that the Christian centres moved from China's cities into the countryside and wilderness.
