Our Publications

The Verbiest Foundation publishes the outcomes of its research in various formats. We share these findings through our own series, such as Leuven Chinese Studies, as well as through external publications. Publishing our research supports our mission to teach and educate about the Church. We publish in four different languages (Dutch, English, French, and/or Chinese), allowing us to reach a broader audience.

A series of book-length studies on Sino-Western relations in general, and on the history of the Catholic Church in China in particular and our own magazine, the Koerier

Chinese titels

Books published on behalf of, or distributed by the Verbiest Foundation in Chinese.
