| Title: Finding the Real Reason Thai People Become “Christians” Author: Dahlfred, Karl Description: When new believers disappear from church and seemingly give up the Christian faith, it is often a disillusioning and discouraging time for those who introduced them to the Gospel, and perhaps even led them in saying the sinnerʼs prayer together. Great expectations and high hopes are dashed. Why do people seem to come in and come out of the faith so easily? The author reflects on some observations on conversion from Thai pastor Wan Petchsongkram Subject: Evangelism; Syncretism Type: Article Year Published: 2009 Pages: 2 Filesize: |

| Title: Illustrating the Gospel from Thai History Author: Dahlfred, Karl Description: Because the concept of substitution is largely absent from Buddhist thinking, there are a couple of illustrations from Thai history that I will often use to explain to people how Jesus could die on the cross, not for his own sin (which he didnʼt have) but in order to save others. I take no credit discovering or coming up with either example, but I have found them useful and hope that anyone else doing evangelism among Buddhists, particularly Thai Buddhists, might find them useful.

| Title: King Mongkut’s Interactions With Christianity And The Failure Of Early Protestant Missionary Efforts To Convert The Siamese Author: Hills, Douglas Martin Description: This thesis will examine the first forty years of Protestant missionary work in Siam, from 1828 to 1868. One of the prominent figures in Siam at this time was Mongkut, who became king in 1851, and reigned until his death in 1868. Because of his prominence in the society, Mongkut is one of the few Siamese of that time whose interactions with missionaries can be traced over an extended period. This paper will investigate his relationship to Christianity, and it will be seen that while Mongkut had a cautiously open attitude to western influences and was eager to accept certain elements of western civilization, he emphatically rejected Christianity throughout his life, as did most of the Siamese that the missionaries encountered. The thesis will then investigate considerations which help explain the failure of the missionary efforts to convert the Siamese, examining both factors which were outside the control of the missionaries and those which were within their control. Finally, an attempt will be made to apply what we have learned to contemporary situations. Subject: Church History | 1800-1900 Type: Thesis Year Published: 2009 Pages: 163 Filesize: |

| Title: The Sinners Prayer in Thai Churches Author: Dahlfred, Karl Description: Every year there are hundreds, if not thousands, of Thai people who pray to receive Christ but never become involved in a church. Is it possible that the sinnerʼs prayer, which is supposed to signal conversion to the Christian faith, actually fails to challenge the animistic worldview of Thai people? What if instead of helping them find new life in Christ, it confirms them in their basically animistic worldview, but merely adds a temporary Christian veneer on the top of their existing beliefs?
