During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Jesuits introduced their Catholic faith to China through the pioneering efforts of Michele Ruggieri and Matteo Ricci. At that time, imperial China was governed by mandarins or Confucian scholar-officials. Consequently, the primary challenge for the early Jesuits was to articulate their beliefs by engaging with Confucian classics and establishing a relational network with the literati. This chapter argues that the Jesuits creatively trespassed China’s spirit world with the intellectual framework tailored toward Confucianism and its evolving interpretations. Although this integration was achieved somewhat reluctantly, it proved successful—albeit at the expense of compromising the dynamic, ‘externalizing’ power and gifts of the Holy Spirit (beyond speaking in dialects), leading to future repercussions. The chapter will first explore the spiritual landscape of the Ming and Qing dynasties and demonstrate the Jesuits’s efforts to align their perspective with it intellectually. It will then examine their texts, investigating how they communicated the Christian concept of the Holy Spirit and the Pentecost, followed by an analysis of their anthropology.
