  In the sixteenth century, European missionaries brought a foreign and global religion to China. Converts then transformed this new religion into a local one. This book focuses on the Catholic communities of Fuan county in northeast Fujian. It suggests that Christianity became part of a pre-existing pluralistic, local religious space.
