The Charismatic Movement in Taiwan from 1945 to 1995
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-48086-8 (ISBN)
This book presents a comprehensive account of the historical development of the Charismatic Movement in Taiwan, placing it within the context of Taiwan's religious and political history. Judith C. P. Lin unearths invaluable sources of the Japan Apostolic Mission, the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International Formosa Chapter, and Jean Stone Willans' short stay in Taiwan in 1968. Lin describes and analyzes how the efforts of 1970s charismatic missionaries in Taiwan-including Pearl Young, Nicholas Krushnisky, Donald Dale, Allen J. Swanson, and Ross Paterson-shaped the theological convictions of later Taiwanese charismatic leaders. She also explores significant developments in the Taiwanese Church which contributed to the gradual and widespread recognition of the Charismatic Movement in Taiwan from 1980 to 1995. Lin offers a thorough treatment of history, reconfigures historiography from a Taiwanese perspective, and challenges the academic circle to take seriously the "Taiwanese consciousness" when engaging Taiwan's history.
lt;p>Judith C. P. Lin received her Ph.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2019. She is an independent research consultant for the Association of Theological Schools in the 2019-2020 academic year.

"The greatest strength of this volume is the very nature of the study itself: this is the very first comprehensive scholarly examination in English of the historical development of the twentieth-century Charismatic Movement in Taiwan." (Joseph Chadwin, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 48 (2), June, 2022)
"The Charismatic Movement in Taiwan is an exceptionally thorough survey of its subject, and those involved in such things will no doubt find much absorbing detail here. I have never seen such a long bibliography - the remotest local newspapers seem to have been combed for records." (Bradley Winterton, taipeitimes.com, December 2, 2021)
