| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 民族學系 === 84 === The main issue of this thesis aims at searching for the
focus/perspective of aboriginal theology and the circumstances
that breed it,managing to analyzee aboriginal theology as a
phenomenon wherein both religious and cultural issues are
discussed.
The simple fact that a aboriginal missionaries now approach this
issue in terms of 'aboriginal theology' indicates a very
significant cultural phenomenon. Moreover,when we review the
period of how early aboriginals acquired Christianbelief,we can
observe various other-cultural factors interacting with one
another.
Therefore, I try to use the idea of 'other-culture' to
reconstruct the proce sof how post-war Presbyterian Church
convert the Tayal people in Taiwan.Furthermore, thorough
reconstructing the detailed process of conversion, I try
toanalyze how missionaries of different races and backgrounds
display different cultural ideologies and how these early
missionaries influence the cultural activity of the later Tayal
Presbyterian Church.
We can even observe discrepancies among the cultural ideologies
of the Tayal missionaries.Since 1980's between culture and
religion and thus launch theconcept of aboriginal theology,the
Tayal missionaries begin to contemplate onthe issue of
interactions.
This concept testifies its theory through loca lization.But
aboriginal theologystill hasn't acquired a explicit position
simp ly because of the conflicts resulted from internal anti-
syncritic movement. Covering the
Presbyterian Church in Taiwan,Post-war conversion movement,and
the localization mo vement in the 1990's,I manage to employ the
structure of Turner's social drama to demonstrate that the
localization of Presbyterian missionaries is the process of
social development that ceaselessly occurs in our social
environment.
