Autorenporträt
James Hudson Taylor (1832–1905) was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China and the founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM), which later became known as the Overseas Missionary Fellowship. He spent 51 years in China, and his profound influence on the direction of missions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries is widely acknowledged. Taylor was known for his missionary approach that emphasized cultural sensitivity, learning the language, and adopting many aspects of Chinese culture, a methodology that was pioneering at that time. One of his well-known literary works is 'Union and Communion,' where Taylor discusses the spiritual relationship between Christ and believers, delving into the Song of Solomon as an allegory for this divine intimacy. His writings often reflect his deep commitment to spiritual principles and a life of faith, echoed in his approach to mission work. Taylor's theological perspective was distinctly evangelical, characterized by a life of prayer, faith in God's promises, and an unwavering commitment to the task of evangelism. His legacy, both literary and missional, continues to influence contemporary missionary work and Christian spirituality.
