Beschreibung
This book provides a key analysis of the development of the Catholic Church in Taiwan, and considers the challenges it faces in contemporary times.

This volume considers different aspects of the development of the Taiwan Catholic Church in the context of indigenization, and examines how the multi-faceted aspects of Catholicism in the Taiwan Catholic Church are revealed through history, philosophy, social science, linguistics, music and literature.
