Watchman Nee in the Eyes of Wang Mingdao

Abstract

Wang Mingdao and Ni Tosheng (Watchman Nee) are famous figures in Chinese Christianity in the twentieth century. They, together with Yang Shaotang, were depicted by Leslie T. Lyall, missionary of China Inland Mission, as “might man” of the Chinese church. Many scholarly studies have been done on Wang and Nee. However, the relationship between the two has long been neglected. This paper aims to investigate their relationship from the perspective of Wang, which also helps us shed a new light on some important issues in the development of Chinese Christianity at the time.
