Conversion of Chinese Students in Korea to Evangelical Christianity

Evangelism & Missions

“Missionaries who have had extensive missionary experiences and diverse mission narratives around the world will find grounded theory a useful tool to organize and theologize their experiences and reflections. This publication is a warm welcome for the field of missiology, which is in critical need of self-theologizing.”

Fear of the Evil Eye

World Religions

“The custom related to the Evil Eye has long been a deeply rooted religious practice in the Muslim world, especially in the lives of Muslim women. This work is based on in-depth interviews with young women in Jordan, including university students, and provides a detailed analysis of how this custom has impacted their lives, particularly their social relationships with acquaintances. Such lived experiences solidify the credibility of the study. It does not merely emphasize the negative worldview of this custom but also proposes a missionary approach to prevent its resulting negative effects through the practice of giving mutual compliments. This helps remind individuals of God’s grace and blessings towards each other rather than fostering mutual rejection and hatred. It is a meaningful work that suggests transforming curses into expressions of gratitude for blessings, offering a beautiful missionary application.”
