My Pilgrimage in Mission

Abstract

As a missionary among the aboriginals in Taiwan, I wondered why this people’s response to the gospel was so open, compared with that of the Chinese of my youth and the Taiwanese majority population. This question became almost an obsession for me. After sixteen happy years in service in Taiwan still holding my question, I began another stage in my pilgrimage in mission in graduate school seeking for answers. I continued my ministry in America, writing articles and then a series of books trying to answer my question regarding receptivity or nonreceptivity to outside religions, especially Christianity.
