RED BISHOP is a sweeping historical novel based on the extraordinary life of Robin Chen, the last Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Church in China. His journey from a Confucian, pre-Republic, mission schoolboy to one of China’s foremost Christian leaders weaves through key national and international events. Life under Mao’s Communism forces the bishop to confront loyalties to country, church, and family while his eldest daughter in the United States is confronted by the Red Scare of post-war McCarthyism. Through this real life drama spanning two contrasting countries and cultures, one gains a deeper understanding of present-day China and its relationship with the West, and the human tragedies caused by international events more powerful than individuals.
