Taking Christianity to China: Alabama Missionaries in the Middle Kingdom, 1850-1950
Wayne Flynt

University Alabama Press, 1997

Beginning early in the 19th century, the American missionary movement made slow headway in China. Individuals from Alabama became part of that small beachhead.

5 reviews
Wayne Flynt

University Alabama Press, 2006

A sober look at a dysfunctional state
Dr Flynt gives us a comprehensive view of the multitude of problems that face the state of Alabama, most of which stem, according to Flynt, from the state's atrocious 1901 Constitution.
