Chosen for Choson: Robert Jermain Thomas: Choe Nam Hun (Chinese Edition) [Chinese]

By Stella Price

"A man with such a dramatic martyrdom and intense commitment which led to that martyrdom is worthy of becoming a legend," were the words spoken about Dr. Samuel Hugh Moffett about Robert Jermain Thomas, missionary to China and Korea [1839-1866]. Thomas has become legendary in both North and South Korea: in the North he is considered enemy of empire-one who attempted to bring in American imperialism-to many of the Christians in the South he is considered the first martyred Protestant missionary to Korea. The purpose of this book is not to answer the question as to whether or not the man is a martyr, but to investigate the man, Robert Jermain Thomas and attempt to answer the questions, what were the circumstances that led this man to Asia, and what was the scope and purpose of his work in China and Korea. The answers may lead readers to come to their own conclusions concerning the questions surrounding his martyrdom.
