| | This aspect of the history of Christian missions is noteworthy, because it was the Koreans themselves who initiated and performed many functions of the church. | | | The Japanese government also stipulated that the teaching of religion, i.e., Christianity, and the practice of religious services were not to be allowed at school. | | | Unlike many other lands, where the Christian religion was first brought by foreign missionaries, in Korea, it began with a kind of "self-study" (self-directed study) of Christian literature by the natives. |

| | Jesus of History |
| | Evidential Theology which tells us of miracles which are supposed to have accompanied his birth and death as well as of those reported to have been performed by him in the course of his ministry, has been one of the main weapons in the armoury of Christian missions. | | | The historicity of Jesus Christ as described in the gospels has been for a long time one of the principal dogmas of all Christian denominations. | | | Christian missionary propaganda in general and the theologies of Fulfillment, Indigenisation (or Acculturation), and Liberation in particular leave the impression as if Jesus Christ was a mighty figure who took the world by storm as soon as he appeared on the scene. |

Baur published Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, in which he presented his theory of two rival missions in the first-century church. | | | Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860) is one of those legendary figures of the nineteenth century whose dialectical reconstruction of early Christianity indelibly influenced the way in which a good deal of subsequent scholarship approaches the book of Acts, the Pauline corpus, and Christian origins from the mid-nineteenth century onward. |

| | Short-term missions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Short-Term Missions (STM) is a trend in Christian missions that is mobilizing thousands as missionaries for short periods of time ranging from days to a year. | | | Whereas more missiologically conservative local churches tended to take a process approach to missions, which draws upon over 200 years of Protestant missions history worldwide. | | | The confusion often centres on a misunderstanding of the differing purposes of short term vs long-term missions. |

| | Christian History Corner: Digging in China - Christianity Today Magazine |
| | Despite theological differences between Nestorians and Catholics, the 1625 discovery of the "Nestorian Stone" aided seventeenth-century Jesuit missions because it showed that Christianity was not merely a recent import to China. | | | This conclusion is hardly shocking; in fact, as Palmer approached the site, a strolling Buddhist nun told him it was "the most famous Christian site in all of China!" What is surprising is its location: the middle of a compound that housed an important Taoist study center during the Tang dynasty (619-907). | | | This narrative is fine as far as it goes, but it ignores the much older and more complex history of faith in China—a history buried by time, dirt, and faulty assumptions. |

| | Jesuits and others therefore soon began to call for a synthesis of the letterbooks and for a general history of Christian-European progress in the various parts of Asia. | | | In the latter half of the seventeenth century French secular priests of the Paris mission society began to compete with the Jesuits for the hearts and souls of the Vietnamese. | | | Leadership in the Jesuit mission to China was assumed in the last years of the century by the French Jesuits, most of whom were high-powered intellectuals specifically instructed to investigate Chinese learning and culture. |

| | The explosive expansion of Christianity in Africa and Asia during the last two centuries constitutes one of the most remarkable cultural transformations in the history of mankind. | | | Because it coincided with the spread of European economic and political hegemony, it tends to be taken for granted that Christian missions went hand in hand with Imperialism and colonial conquest. | | | Other important chapters focus on the difficult relationship between missionaries and white settlers, women and mission, and the neglected role of the indigenous evangelists who did far more than European or North American missionaries to spread the Christian religion - belying the image of Christianity as the 'white man's religion'. |
