http://schema.org/description

  • "Relying on the insights of Suntaree Komin (1991) about Thai characteristics, I seek to investigate the characteristics of the Thai way of meekness. The theoretical framework is used to analyze the data from: library research, the Wessandorn Jataka myth, the Pai Dang (The Red Bamboo) novel, four case studies, research interviews among non-Christians, Thai Christians, and missionaries, Jesus' meekness and discipling in the Gospels, and missiological applications."
  • "The research affirms the thesis statement. Inquiry indicates that the Thai way of meekness is an important core of Thai culture. The research discovers the following: Thai worldview, the sources of the Thai way of meekness, the structure of Thai society, Thai understanding of religion, religious discipling, and religious discipling tools. The research confirms Suntaree Komin's nine Thai value clusters and illustrates Jesus meekness and discipling for the Thai context. I propose new approaches for the Thai indigenous discipling which will help the Thai be Christian and Thai in the Thai way."
  • "This dissertation is research about contextualization which will help the Thai be Christian and Thai in the Thai way. The study defends the thesis that the Thai way of meekness is the best method by which to contextualize Christian discipling in Thailand. Moreover, the Thai way of meekness is compatible with scriptural teaching on meekness. Effective approaches to influence Thai non-believers, to nurture believers, and to discipline wrongdoers can be founded upon the Thai way of meekness."
