by Reid L. Neilson (Author)
In Unlocking the Chinese Realm, historian Reid L. Neilson offers a comprehensive account of Latter-day Saint early encounters with China and its surrounding regions. Spanning from Brigham Young's 1852 call for missionaries to Hong Kong through Apostle David O. McKay's 1921 dedicatory prayer in Peking, the book traces nearly seventy years of evolving religious aspiration, cultural encounter, and global vision. Drawing on diaries, reports, and periodical accounts, Neilson illuminates how McKay's prayer symbolically "turned the key" to China, consecrating the nation and its people to receive the restored gospel while reflecting broader Western attitudes toward the East at the dawn of the twentieth century.
Blending biography, theology, and global religious history, Unlocking the Chinese Realm situates McKay's mission within a longer narrative of Latter-day Saint engagement with East Asia-from early Hawaiian and Californian contact with Chinese migrants to later apostolic rituals of dedicating lands in preparation to share the gospel. With detailed analysis and rare archival sources, Neilson reveals how McKay's 1921 act echoed across generations of church leaders and members, shaping the faith's hopes for China and its diaspora well into the modern era. This deeply researched study opens new perspectives on Mormonism's international expansion and the sacred geography of global Christianity.
