Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Christianity
Launched in 2005, the online Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Christianity (BDCC) has become a trusted and even authoritative source for information about the spread of Christianity among Chinese around the world, especially in Mainland China.
The English page has well over five hundred short biographies of both famous and also lesser known figures, both Chinese and Western. There are close to three hundred original articles on the Chinese page, most of them written by our Chinese Editor, Dr. Yading Li. These are available in both traditional and simplified characters.
We are constantly adding stories to the BDCC and updating the website. To pay writers, editorial assistants, and web management, we rely on ongoing donations.
