James Hudson Taylor is often proclaimed the Father of the Modern
Faith Mission Movement. As the founder of the China Inland Mission (or
modern day OMF International), it would seem that much of Taylor's legacy
is indeed his pioneering work in missions and missiology. This is well worth
the time and attention of researchers and students, as there is at least an assumption
that many modern mission practices are patterned after Taylor's innovations.
However, Taylor's life and legacy leaves the modern student with more
than missiological principles. He also personally developed a unique and peculiar
brand of biblical spirituality in the process of founding and leading one of
the first modern faith-based, interdenominational mission societies. This research
will seek to find connections between Taylor's peculiar brand of spirituality and
his unique missiological leadership along with applications for the modern context.
This will result in a qualitative description of Taylor's spirituality, missional
leadership style along with connections with implications. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Christian Spirituality)
