Tim Yung is a historian of modern China and Christianity worldwide. His research explores religious encounter between foreign missionaries and modern China, especially the formation of Chinese Christianity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His publications illustrate the many facets of Chinese Christianity, ranging from schools to constitutions, from the collective to the individual.

 

 

 

Current Research Project

 

Tim is working on a book project which explores the identity of Chinese Anglicanism. Using the South China diocese as a case-study, his project examines the competing identities among Chinese Anglicans between 1850 and 1950, the contexts and processes in which they were formed, and what unity was recovered within diversity.
