| Sumario: | How are Chinese Catholic identities expressed through images? In this cross-disciplinary study which engages with history, theology and art, the author explores paintings and sculptures of the Virgin Mary and the communities that produced them over several centuries. He argues for the emergence of distinctly Chinese Catholic identities as artistic representations of the Virgin Mary sometime absorbed representations of such Chinese figures as Guanyin while at other times were diluted by Western influences following the influx of European missionaries. The book offers a new view of Catholicism in China - one that sees its history as more than simply a cycle of persecution and resistance. |
