Griffith John: The Story Of Fifty Years In China is a biographical account of the life and work of Griffith John, a Welsh Christian missionary who spent fifty years in China during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book, written by Ralph Wardlaw Thompson, provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of John's life, from his early years in Wales to his arrival in China as a young missionary, his experiences living and working in various parts of the country, and his eventual return to Wales.The book explores John's deep commitment to his faith and his desire to spread the gospel throughout China, despite facing numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. It also provides insight into the social, cultural, and political landscape of China during this time period, including the Boxer Rebellion and the impact of Western imperialism on Chinese society.Throughout the book, Thompson draws on a wealth of primary sources, including John's own letters and journals, to provide a vivid and engaging account of his life and work. The book is both informative and inspiring, offering readers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most influential Christian missionaries of the nineteenth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
