Abstract This paper examines the endeavors of Christian missions seeking converts from an indigenous society. It places the concept of “cultural change”, often promoted by Christian missions, against the concept of “cultural adaptability”. Taking the case of the Zo people of the India-Burma borderlands, this paper argues that the ascendance of the Christian God within a traditional Zo cosmology was not simply an outcome of missionary endeavors. Rather, the stringent efforts of the missionaries, who sought to missionize by opening the “hearts and minds” of the native people through the tools of education and health services, faced serious challenges and opposition from the indigenous Pau Cin Hau movement. However, it was the attack on the lesser spirits by the indigenous movement which paved the way for the Christian God to be easily fitted into the upper tier of the traditional cosmology, and consequently led to the spread of Christianity.

Abstract Missionary Linguistics attempts to analyze texts either written or (re)translated by missionaries, especially those produced by Spanish and Portuguese ministers in Latin America and Asia. However, some more specific case studies have been taken for granted, such as the case of the Scottish Protestant missionaries who wanted to convert Sephardic Jews in Constantinople in the nineteenth century. This article aims to illustrate the origin of the re(translation) policies of Protestant missionaries, such as those of the Free Church of Scotland mission in the nineteenth century. Moreover, we will describe the theoretical basis of Missionary Linguistics and the existing link between this innovative and modern branch of linguistics and Colonial Linguistics, thus showing common grounds as well as a way in which both could be combined into a single research field.

Abstract Between 1624 and 1662, the Dutch East India Company operated a trading post in Taiwan. It employed missionaries who attempted to convert indigenous Formosans to Reformed Christianity by compiling texts in the Formosan language, Siraya. This article analyzes texts compiled in this language to establish how the Dutch missionaries used them to communicate the Gospel. This analysis shows that they adopted two distinct approaches to compiling texts in Siraya. Early missionaries, above all Robertus Junius, modified biblical texts such as the Ten Commandments and Lord’s Prayer, changing words and phrases to “speak to” the Formosan culture. His approach constituted a form of accommodation and was subsequently criticized by missionary colleagues in Taiwan. Later missionaries translated the biblical texts more literally. Nevertheless, they used a Formulary as a discursive textual space in which to explain and, to some extent, make the text relevant to the Formosans.
