| Summary: | 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.

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. |
