- Abstract
The article discusses the book "Au tribunal du repentir: La proscription du catholicisme en Chine (1724–1860)" by Pierre-Emmanuel Roux, which explores the legal responses towards Christianity in late imperial China. The author argues that the Qing court's response to Christianity remained moderate and cautious, contrary to what missionary and colonial discourses have claimed. The book also examines the regional dynamics and the evolving response of the Qing court to Christianity over time. The article praises the book's accessible writing style and its cross-regional approach, while suggesting that a review of the historical period preceding the eighteenth century would enhance the argument. Overall, the book is recommended for researchers interested in modern China, Chinese Christianity, and legal studies in East Asia.
