Kenneth Scott Latourette (August 6, 1884 – December 26, 1968) was an American Baptist minister and historian, specialized in Chinese studies, Japanese studies, and the history of Christianity.[1][2][3] His formative experiences as a Christian missionary and educator in early 20th-century Imperial China shaped his life's work.[1][2] Although he did not learn the Chinese language, he became known for his study of the history of China, the history of Japan, his magisterial scholarly surveys on world Christianity, and of American relations with East Asia.[1][2][4]
