| 總結: | This article highlights the significance of social memory in Christian missions. Memory is a crucial phenomenon that shapes how individuals perceive reality and make decisions. Social memory, in particular, can aid anthropological researchers and Christian missionaries in engaging with people groups. The article summarizes the history of social memory studies and explores the effects of social trauma on group memory. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of a target people’s past for the success of the Christian mission. By examining a social group’s history, missionaries can gain insights into how the group is likely to respond to the Gospel message and how they are likely to interpret and apply it in their lives. Overall, comprehending the context is essential for the success of the Christian mission. |
