传教士在近代西北的“赈灾辅教”研究

A Study on Preachers Spreading the Gospel with Relief of Famine in the Northwest of Modern China

晚清"禁教"命令解除后,传教士大举进入灾荒频发的西北传播"福音"。以"赈灾"之"实利"来"服华人之心",是传教士传播"福音"的重要策略。然令其殊料不及者:一方面,民众接受的多是"赈灾"之"实利"而非"福音";另一方面,传教士与官、绅、民间的关系演进显示"实利"纷争更使其"福音"传播的实效有限。

After the ban of spreading of the Christianity was lifted,preachers went into the northwest of modern China,where the famine often erupted,to spread the Gospel.It was an important strategy to spread the gospel with the reality benefit of the relief famine in order to persuade the Chinese people.However,the following was not expected by the preacher:on the one hand,the people in the northwest of China just accepted the reality benefit of the relief of famine,didn’t accepted the Gospel;on the other hand,the evolution of the relationship between the preacher and the official,the gentry as well as the ordinary people showed that the dispute of the reality benefit among of all these people was the important reason that the effectiveness of spreading the gospel was limited.
