 | Title: A Chick Tract Contextualized for Thailand? Author: Dahlfred, Karl Description: In the Chick tract, “The Tycoon,” (read here), a wealthy Thai Buddhist businessman is commended for his large donations to the temple. Periodically through his life, Christians try to tell him the Gospel but don’t get very far because they are quickly ejected from his presence, or he himself ridicules them. He dies in a car wreck and is condemned before God’s judgment throne. Is this tract contextualized well for Thai Buddhists? Subject: Evangelism Type: Article Year Published: 2012 Pages: 2 Filesize: |

| Title: The Christus Victor Atonement Motif Applied to Evangelism among Folk Buddhists in Mainland Southeast Asia Author: Newhouse, Thomas Description: The thesis of this paper is that the ancient Christus Victor atonement motif is more relevant to the worldview of folk Buddhists in mainland South East Asia than the penal substitution view of the atonement. Many modern evangelistic presentations are based almost entirely on a penal substitution view of the atonement. Often these gospel presentations are also used in a mainland South East Asian folk Buddhist context. Folk Buddhists in mainland South East Asia incorporate many animistic beliefs in their worldview. The Christus Victor atonement motif emphasizes that Christ’s death on the cross and subsequent resurrection resulted in victory over Satan and the demonic powers. Evangelistic presentations which have a more holistic view of the atonement that include the Christus Victor motif would be more relevant to the worldview of folk Buddhist in mainland South East Asia.

| Title: Most of Thailand is Not Truly Buddhist Author: Lambert, John Description: While it is true that the majority of Thai people would claim themselves to be Buddhist, the reality is that majority are not what the Thai would call “kreng sasanna” or fully devoted to their Buddhist faith. In fact, most Thai would have a wide variety of things that they respect, worship, or venerate in a typical day or week that would not be considered Buddhist at all. Most of these other things have to do with “spirits” or ghosts of people who are believed to have lived before in a past time.
