The text was written in concert with two Taiwanese historians. One of them presents Taiwanese research on modern Chinese history, while the other shows research from the Taiwanese point of view of the Sino-Japanese War between 1937-1945, "The 8-Year War of Resistance". This book is especially important in our times, when a global world culture is taking shape. It is a first-class introduction to both the contemporary and recent history of one of the world's greatest powers, which has enormous human and natural resources, and a magnificent, ancient heritage and civilization. This book, written 'sine ira et studio', offers its readers an excellent outlook on issues of fundamental significance. -- Contents: 1.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book investigates the Mission of the Reformed Church in America sent to Arabia in 1889 to preach the Gospel, and which operated in the Persian Gulf until 1973. It also explores the various cultural encounters between missionaries and Muslims, and discusses conversion and the place of Islam in the Protestant eschatology. It maintains that John G. Lansing from the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, New Jersey, who founded the Arabian Mission, deliberately dedicated the Mission to "direct Muslim evangelism". In terms of premillennialism, Lansing "moved" Islam into the very centre of the theological discourse, and presented the evangelization of Muslims as critical for Christ's Second Coming. This made the Arabian Mission unique among the American Protestant Missions, and placed the Church and missionaries between religious pluralism and the obligations of the Great Commission.
