| 总结: | "This study draws upon Chee Kiong Tong's thesis of the perception of Christianity as a rational religion in Singapore and explores the extent and ways to which this is a factor for Christian conversion among younger Chinese Singaporeans. Taking the mode of qualitative research, the study involves interviews of thirty-five Chinese Singaporeans who converted from Buddhism and/or Taoism to Christianity. The findings are then analyzed in view of three domains of literature, including (1) contextualization of Christianity in Asia, (2) modernization, globalization, and religious change, and (3) Christian conversion theories in Singapore, in order to better understand the phenomena in Singapore."--Page ix |
