“Sacrifice in Context—a Cross-Cultural Feature of the Protestant Mission in East Asia”

 

Having been taught that offering sacrifices to ancestors is idolatrous, Protestant Christians in East Asia have experienced a dilemma in the establishment of their cultural and religious identities.  More importantly, this questionable teaching has also blockaded the Protestant mission to general East Asians.  This presentation will re-examine this teaching via textual analysis and theological interpretation to dismantle the Christian concept of idolatry knotted in the mission to
East Asians.

Dr. K. James Wu, Th. D.
