While Protestant Christians made up only a small percentage of China's overall population during the Republican period, they were heavily represented among the urban elite. Chinese Protestant elites adapted both the social message and practice of Christianity so that they were better able to contribute to the building of a New China. 'Saving the Nation' recounts the history of the Protestant elite and their struggle to strengthen and renew their nation.
