The "Christianity Rare Books Database" is a joint digitization project
of the Hong Kong Baptist University Library and the Chaplain's Office. This
Database includes 36 Chinese stitch-bound rare books on Bible commentary and
Christianity which were published in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
These rare books document the research effort of scholars and missionaries on
Christianity and Bible during that period, and are valuable research materials
for those who are interested in the studies of religions, translation and history.
The Library is grateful to Rev. Dr. King Tak Ip, Chaplain of the University
and also the owner of these rare books. His support and authorization for digitization
is important for the creation of this Database for free public access on the
World Wide Web.
This Database contains index and full texts. Library patrons can select the
titles and chapters from the bibliography and then browse the PDF images of
the texts.
