The Research On Ohlinger, A Missionary Of The Methodist Episcopal Mission

In the middle of 19^th century, there were footmarks left by Christianity in Fuzhou, an important littoral city in the southeast of China. Ever since, Fujian gradually became one of the forelands where the missionaries preached the gospel in the early stage. Franklin Ohlinger was one of the famous missionaries who had been to Fujian. His activities not only bore the common imprints of the missionaries' evangelization in China, but also affected on the development of the neoteric Fujian society. It's a pity that there are few introductions about Ohlinger, and none of the special research. Thus, this thesis analyzes his activities, especially the evangelization experiences in Fuzhou, and focuses on its cultural activities in Fujian and its influences.
